PREFACE
THE Hymnal was published in October, 1895, with a preface set-
ting forth the principles which governed its preparation. The
present edition marks no departure from these principles, and no change
in the general character of the book. It has been prepared with
a twofold aim.
First : to make a thorough revision of the materials in the light of
sixteen years practical use of the book. Hymns and tunes failing to
establish themselves in popular favor have been removed. Many
tunes have been set in lower keys or modified in harmony, in the interests
of congregational singing. In these matters the Committee has been
fortunate in having the sympathetic cooperation of the Musical Editor.
The text of the hymns has been minutely scrutinized from the point of
view of accuracy, of rhythm, and of a sincere worship: the text of the
Psalter continues to be that of the standard of the American Bible So-
ciety. The arrangement of the main body of hymns under the subjects
of the Apostles' Creed has been more completely carried out, with a
view to assist the memory in locating hymns; and the system of cross
references has been extended. The notes upon the history of hymns
and tunes have been carefully restudied and revised.
Second : to bring the book abreast of the latest developments of
hymnody, and of the present state of Christian thought and feeling;
especially to meet the demand for the recognition of God's nearness
to every-day living, the coming of the kingdom in the sphere of common
life, the spirit of brotherhood and of manly and resolute Christian life and
service, social betterment, and evangelistic work. In the choice of new
tunes preference has been given to those whose acceptability has been
elsewhere tested in actual use; and some familiar tunes have been
restored.
For permission to use hymns that are new to this edition, the Com-
mittee is indebted to the Rev. Dr. Henry van Dyke for No. 115;
the Right Rev. William C. Doane for No. 83 ; the Rev. Dr. Frederick
L. Hosmer for Nos. 113 and 349 ; the Rev. Dr. Frank Mason North
for No. 376; the Rev. Dr. John Brownlie for Nos. 263, 329, and
462 ; Mr. Bradford Torrey for No. 53 1 ; and Messrs. Charles Scribner's
Sons for No. 691.
Acknowledgments are likewise due for the free use of copyrighted
tunes not hitherto included to the Chautauqua Press for "Evening
Praise " and " Bread of Life " ; Bishop Doane for " Ancient of Days " ;
the Rev. Dr. Charles L. Hutchins for "Beaufort" and " Chignell " ;
Mr. H. J. Storer for " Patmos " ; Mr. William G. Fischer for "I
am Coming"; James Edmund Jones, Esq., for " Walden" ; C. Crozat
Converse, Esq., for "What a Friend" ; and Mr. W. H. Doane for
" Evangel " and " Rescue the Perishing."

Note. As far as possible, the Hymns are here printed as their authors wrote them. All deviations from
the author's text are indicated in the note beneath the hymn. The date set to the hymn is the earliest date
obtainable, ordinarily that of its composition, in some cases necessarily that of first publication. Where two
dates are given, they indicate that of the original form of the hymn, and that of the author's revised text used in
this book. The word "publ." indicates that the date of writing is unknown, and that the date of publication is
posthumous. The letter c, (circa), before a date is used where exact certainty is unobtainable.
The names of the Tunes, unless for good reason to the contrary, are those authoritatively given them by the
composer or his representative. Tunes bearing identical names are distinguished by adding the composer's name
in brackets, e.g. Alleluia (Lowe), Alleluia (Wesley). The dates set to the tunes are the dates of first
publication.
Where dates, either of hymns or tunes, are altogether wanting, the date of the author's or composer's birth
and death are given in brackets, e.g. (18x6-1893), or, where living, that of birth only, e.g. (1838-), or the
date of death, when that alone is known, e.g. (-1850).

Ilnbex of first Xtnes
A CHARGE to keep I have
A few more years shall roll
A mighty Fortress is our God
A parting hymn we sing
A thousand years have come and gone . .
A voice by Jordan's shore
Abide with me: fast falls the eventide
According to Thy gracious word ....
Again, as evening's shadow falls ....
Alas! and did my Saviour bleed ....
All glory, laud, and honor
All hail the power of Jesus' Name ....
All my heart this night rejoices
All people that on earth do dwell ....
All praise to Him who dwells in bliss . .
All praise to Thee, Eternal Lord ....
All praise to Thee, my God, this night . .
Alleluia! Alleluia! Hearts to heaven . .
Alleluia! sing to Jesus
Alleluia, song of sweetness
Alleluia! The strife is o'er
Almighty God, Thy word is cast ....
Am I a soldier of the cross
Ancient of Days, who sittest throned in
And is the time approaching
And now the sun's declining rays ....
And now the wants are told that brought
Angel voices, ever singing
Angels, from the realms of glory ....
Angels, roll the rock away
Another si.x days' work is done
Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat . . .
Arise, O King of grace, arise
Around the throne of God
Around the throne of God in heaven . .
Art thou weary, art thou languid ....
As pants the hart for cooling streams . .
As the sun doth daily rise
As with gladness men of old
Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep
At even, when the sun was set
At the Lamb's high feast we sing ....
At the Name of Jesus
At Thy feet, our God and Father ....
Awake, and sing the song
Awake, my soul, and with the sun . . .
Awake, my soul, in joyful lays
Awake, my soul, stretch every nerve . .

Before Jehovah's awful throne
Begin, my tongue, some heavenly theme .
Behold, a Stranger's at the door
Behold the Bridegroom cometh
Behold, the Master passeth by
Behold the throne of grace
Behold us. Lord, a little space
Behold what wondrous grace
Beneath the cross of Jesus
Beneath the shadow of the cross ....
Blessed are the sons of God
Blessed night, when first that plain . . .
Blessed Saviour, Thee I love

Brief life is here our portion
Brightest and best of the sons of the morning
Brightly gleams our banner
By Christ redeemed, in Christ restored . .
By cool Siloam's shady rill
Call Jehovah thy Salvation
Calm me, my God, and keep me calm . .
Calm on the listening ear of night ....
Cast thy burden on the Lord
Child of sin and sorrow
Children of the heavenly King
Christ, above all glory seated
Christ for the world we sing
Christ in His word draws near
Christ is made the sure Foundation . . .
Christ is our Corner-stone
Christ, of all my hopes the Ground . . .
Christ the Lord is risen again
Christ the Lord is risen to-day
Christ, whose glory fills the skies ....
Christian, dost thou see them
Christian, seek not yet repose
Christians, awake! salute the happy morn
City of God, how broad and far ....
Come, dearest Lord, descend and dwell .
Come, gracious Spirit, heavenly Dove . .
Come, Holy Ghost, in love
Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire . . .

Who is this that comes from Edom
Who trusts in God, a strong abode

mxct statement of tbe 1Reforme^ Jfaitb
ADOPTED, MAY 22, 1902, BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE PRESBY-
TERIAN CHURCH IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Article I. Of God.
We believe in the ever-living God, who is a
Spirit and the P^ather of our spirits ; infinite, eter-
nal, and unchangeable in His being and perfec-
tions ; the Lord Almiglity, most just in all His
ways, most glorious in holiness, unsearchable in
wisdom and plenteous in mercy, full of love and
compassion, and abundant in goodness and truth.
We worship Him, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
three persons in one Godhead, one in substance
and equal in power and glory.
Article IL Of Revelation.
We believe that God is revealed in nature, in
history, and in the heart of man ; that He has
made gracious and clearer revelations of Him-
self to Men of God who spoke as they were
moved by the Holy Spirit ; and that Jesus Christ,
the Word made flesh, is the brightness of the
Father's glory and the express image of His per-
son. We gratefully receive the Holy Scriptures,
given by inspiration, to be the faithful record of
God's gracious revelations and the sure witness
to Christ, as the Word of God, the only infallible
rule of faith and life.
Article III. Of the Eternal Purpose.
We believe that the eternal, wise, holy, and
loving purpose of God embraces all events, so
that while the freedom of man is not taken away
nor is God the author of sin, yet in His provi-
dence He m.akes all things work together in the
fulfillment of His sovereign design and the mani-
festation of His glory ; wherefore, humbly ac-
knowledging the mystery of this truth, we trust
in His protecting care and set our hearts to do
His will.
Article IV. Of the Creation.
We believe that God is the creator, upholder,
and governor of all things ; that He is above all
His works and in them all ; and that He made
man in His own image, meet for fellowship with
Him, free and able to choose between good
and evil, and forever responsible to his Maker
and Lord.
Article V. Of the Sin of Man.
We believe that our first parents, being
tempted, chose evil, and so fell away from God
and came under the power of sin, the penalty of
which is eternal death ; and we confess that, by
reason of this disobedience, we and all men are
born with a sinful nature, that we have broken
God's law, and that no man can be saved but by
His grace.
Article VI. Of the Grace of God.
We believe that God, out of His great love
for the world, has given His only begotten
Son to be the Saviour of sinners, and in the
Gospel freely offers His all-sufficient salvation to
all men. And we praise Him for the unspeak-
able grace wherein He has provided a way of
eternal life for all mankind.
Article VII. Of Election.
We believe that God, from the beginning, in
His own good pleasure, gave to His Son a peo-
ple, an innumerable multitude, chosen in Christ
unto holiness, service, and salvation ; we believe
that all who come to years of discretion can re-
ceive this salvation only through faith and repent-
ance ; and we believe that all who die in infancy,
and all others given by the Father to the Son
who are beyond the reach of the outward means
of grace, are regenerated and saved by Christ
through the Spirit, who works when and where
and how He pleases.
Article VIII. Of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe in and confess the Lord Jesus
Christ, the only Mediator between God and man,
who, being the Eternal Son of God, for us men
and for our salvation became truly man, being
conceived by the Holy Ghost and Ijorn of the
Virgin Mary, without sin ; unto us He has re-
vealed the Father, by His Word and Spirit mak-
ing known the perfect will of God ; for us He
fulfilled all righteousness and satisfied eternal
justice, offering Himself a perfect sacrifice upon
the cross to take away the sin of the world ; for
us He rose from the dead and ascended into
heaven, where He ever intercedes for us ; in our
hearts, joined to Him by faith. He abides for-
ever as the indwelling Christ ; over us. and over
all for us, He rules : wherefore, unto Him we
render love, obedience, and adoration as our
Prophet, Priest, and King for ever.
Article IX. Of Faith and Repentance.
We believe that God pardons our sins and
accepts us as righteous solely on the ground of
the perfect obedience and sacrifice of Christ re-
ceived by faith alone ; and that this saving faith
is always accompanied by repentance, wherein
we confess and forsake our sins with full purpose
of, and endeavor after, a new obedience to God.

Brief Statement of tje 3^eformeti jFaitij
Article X. Of the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and
Giver of Life, who moves everywhere upon the
hearts of men, to restrain them from evil and to
incite them unto good, and whom the Father is
ever willing to give unto all who ask Him. We
believe that He has spoken by holy Men of God
in making known His truth to men for their sal-
vation ; that, through our exalted Saviour, He
was sent forth in power to convict the world of
sin, to enlighten men's minds in the knowledge
of Christ, and to persuade and enable them to
obey the call of the Gospel ; and that He abides
with the Church, dwelling in every believer as
the spirit of truth, of holiness, and of comfort.
Article XL
Of the New Birth and the
New Life.
We believe that the Holy Spirit only is the
author and source of the new birth ; we rejoice
in the new life, wherein He is given unto us as
the seal of sonship in Christ, and keeps loving
fellowship with us, helps us in our infirmities,
purges us from our faults, and ever continues His
transforming work in us until we are perfected in
the likeness of Christ, in the glory of the life to
Article XII. Of the Resurrection and
the Life to Come.
We believe that in the life to come the spirits
of the just, at death made free from sin, enjoy
immediate communion with God and the vision
of His glory ; and we confidently look for the
general resurrection in the last day, when the
bodies of those who sleep in Christ shall be fash-
ioned in the likeness of the glorious body of their
Lord, with whom they shall live and reign for
ever.
Article XIII. Of the Law of God.
We believe that the law of God, revealed in
the Ten Conmiandments, and more clearly dis-
closed in the words of Christ, is forever established
in truth and equity, so that no human work shall
abide except it be built on this foundation. We
believe that God requires of every man to do
justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with
his God; and that only through this harmony
with the will of God shall be fulfilled that brother-
hood of man wherein the kingdom of God is to
be made manifest.
Article XIV. Of the Church and the
Sacraments.
We believe in the Holy Catholic Church of
which Christ is the only Head. We believe that
the Church Invisible consists of all the redeemed,
and that the Church Visible embraces all who
profess the true religion together with their chil-
dren. We receive to our communion all who
confess and obey Christ as their divine Lord and
Saviour, and we hold fellowship with all believers
in Him.
We receive the Sacraments of Baptism and the
Lord's Supper, alone divinely established and
committed to the Church, together with the Word,
as means of grace ; made effectual only by the
Holy Spirit, and always to be used by Christians
with prayer and praise to God.
Article XV. Of the Last Judgment.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ will
come again in glorious majesty to judge the world
and to make a final separation between the right-
eous and the wicked. The wicked shall receive
the eternal award of their sins, and the Lord
will manifest the glory of His mercy in the sal-
vation of His people and their entrance upon the
full enjoyment of eternal life.
Article XVI. Of Christian Service and
the Final Triumph.
We believe that it is our duty, as servants and
friends of Christ, to do good unto all men, to
maintain the public and private worship of God,
to hallow the Lord's Day, to preserve the sanctity
of the family, to uphold the just authority of the
State, and so to live in all honesty, purity, and
charity, that our lives shall testify of Christ. We
joyfully receive the word of Christ, bidding His
people go into all the world and make disciples
of all nations, and declare unto them that God
was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself,
and that He will have all men to be saved and to
come to the knowledge of the truth. W^e con-
fidently trust that by His power and grace, all
His enemies and ours shall be finally overcome,
and the kingdoms of this world shall be made
the kingdom of our God and of His Christ. In
this faith we abide ; in this service we labor ; and
in this hope we pray. Even so, come, Lord
Jesus.

OUR FATHER which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name ; Thy king-
dom COME ; Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven ; give us this day our
daily bread ; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors ; AND LEAD
us NOT into temptation, BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL j FOR ThINE IS THE KINGDOM,
AND THE POWER, AND THE GLORY, FOR EVER. AmEN.
€l&e €en CommantimentiBf
GOD spake all these words, saying, I am the Lord thy God, which have brought
thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage,
I. Thou shall have no other gods before Me.
II. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing
that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under
the earth : thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them : for I the Lord
thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto
the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me ; and showing mercy unto
thousands of them that love Me, and keep My commandments.
III. Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord
will not hold him guiltless that taketh His Name in vain.
IV. Remember the Sabbath-day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and
do all thy work : but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God ; in it thou
shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy
maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates ; for in six days
the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the
seventh day : wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath-day, and hallowed it.
V. Honor thy father and thy mother : that thy days may be long upon the land
which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
VI. Thou shalt not kill.
VII. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
VIII. Thou shalt not steal.
IX. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
X. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neigh-
bor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any
thing that is thy neighbor's.
HEAR also the words of our Lord Jesus, how He saith : Thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This
is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it : Thou shalt
love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and
the prophets.
€l)e %pti^t\c^' Crceti
I BELIEVE in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth :
And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord ; who was conceived by the Holy
Ghost ; born of the Virgin Mary ; suffered under Pontius Pilate ; was crucified,
dead, and buried ; He descended into hell ;* the third day He rose again from the
dead ; He ascended into heaven ; and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father
Almighty ; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost ; the holy Catholic Church ; the Communion of
Saints ; the Forgiveness of sins ; the Resurrection of the body ; and the Life ever-
lasting. Amen.
* i. e. Continued in the state of the dead and under the power of death until the third day.

LET Israel hope in the Lord : for with
the Lord there is mercy, and with Him is
plenteous redemption.
My voice shalt Thou hear in the morn-
ing, O Lord ; in the morning will I direct
my prayer unto Thee, and will look up.
I WILL come into Thy house in the
multitude of Thy mercy ; and in Thy fear
will I worship toward Thy holy temple.
Let the words of my mouth, and the
meditation of my heart, be acceptable in
Thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my
Redeemer.
OUR help is in the name of the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
Where two or three are gathered to-
gether in My name, there am I in the
midst of them.
IF we say that we have no sin, we de-
ceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins. He is faithful
and just to forgive us our sins, and to
cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
WE have not an High Priest which can-
not be touched with the feeling of our
infirmities ; but was in all points tempted
like as we are, yet without sin. Let us
therefore come boldly unto the throne of
grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find
grace to help in time of need.
I WILL arise and go to my father, and
will say unto him, Father, I have sinned
against heaven, and before thee, and am
no more worthy to be called thy son.
Enter not into judgment with Thy ser-
vant : for in Thy sight shall no man liv-
ing be justified.
THE sacrifices of God are a broken
spirit : a broken and a contrite heart, O
God, Thou wilt not despise.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and
put your trust in the Lord.
RETURN unto thy rest, O my soul ;
for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with
thee.
Abide with us : for it is toward evening,
and the day is far spent.
LORD, I cry unto Thee : make haste
unto me ; give ear unto my voice, when I
cry unto Thee.
Let my prayer be set forth before Thee
as incense ; and the lifting up of my hands
as the evening sacrifice.
THE hour cometh, and now is, when
the true worshippers shall worship the
Father in spirit and in truth : for the Fa-
ther seeketh such to worship Him. God
is a Spirit : and they that worship Him
must worship Him in spirit and in truth.
BLESSED is the man whom Thou
choosest, and causest to approach unto
Thee, that he may dwell in Thy courts : we
shall be satisfied with the goodness of
Thy house, even of Thy holy temple.
THE Lord is in His holy temple : let
all the earth keep silence before Him.
O worship the Lord in the beauty of
holiness : fear before Him all the earth.
IT is a good thing to give thanks unto
the Lord, and to sing praises unto Thy
name, O Most High : to show forth Thy
loving-kindness in the morning, and Thy
faithfulness every night.
Delight thyself also in the Lord ; and
He shall give thee the desires of thine
heart.
THE Lord is nigh unto all them that
call upon Him, to all that call upon Him
in truth. He will fulfil the desire of them
that fear Him : He also will hear their cry,
and will save them.
O Thou that hearest prayer, unto Thee
shall all flesh come.

2 Still the greatness of Thy love
Daily doth our sins remove;
Daily, far as east from west,
Lifts the burden from the breast;
Gives unbought to those who pray
Strength to stand in evil day.
3 Let our prayers each morn prevail,
That these gifts may never fail;
And, as we confess the sin
And the tempter's power within.
Every morning, for the strife.
Feed us with the Bread of Life.
4 As the morning light returns.
As the sun with splendor burns,
Teach us still to turn to Thee,
Ever-blessed Trinity,
With our hands our hearts to raise,
In unfailing prayer and praise.

2 To Thee, whose word, the fount of light unsealing,
When hill and dale in thickest darkness lay,
Awoke bright rays across the dim earth stealing.
And bade the even and morn complete the day.
3 Look from the tower of heaven, and send to cheer us
Thy light and truth, to guide us onward still;
Still let Thy mercy, as of old, be near us,
And lead us safely to Thy holy hill.
4 In vain to labor, unless Thou be with him,
Man goeth forth through all the weary day;
In vain his strife, in vain his toil unceasing.
Unless Thy staff bring comfort on his way.
5 Thou, who hast made the north and south, watch o'er us;
Thou, in whose Name the lonely ones rejoice,
Still let Thy cloudy pillar glide before us.
Still let us listen for Thy warning voice.
6 So, when that morn of endless light is waking.
And shades of evil from its splendors flee.
Safe may we rise, the earth's dark breast forsaking,
Through all the long bright day to dwell with Thee.

2 Come, very Sun of heaven's love, 4 Confirm our will to do the right,
In lasting radiance from above. And keep our hearts from envy's blight;
And pour the Holy Spirit's ray Let faith her eager fires renew,
On all we think or do to-day. And hate the false, and love the true.
3 And now to Thee our prayers ascend, 5 O joyful be the passing day
0 Father, glorious without end; With thoughts as pure as morning's ray,
We plead with Sovereign Grace for power With faith like noontide shining bright,
To conquer in temptation's hour. Our souls unshadowed by the night.
6 Dawn's glory gilds the earth and skies,
Let Him, our perfect Morn, arise.

The Father imaged in the Son.

1 New every morning is the love 3 If, on our daily course, our mind
Our wakening and uprising prove; Be set to hallow all we find.
Through sleep and darkness safely brought, New treasures still, of countless price,
Restored to life and power and thought. God will provide for sacrifice,
2 New mercies, each returning day, 4 The trivial round, the common task,
Hover around us while we pray; Will furnish all we ought to ask;
New perils past, new sins forgiven, Room to deny ourselves, a road
New thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven. To bring us daily nearer God.
5 Only, O Lord, in Thy dear love,
Fit us for perfect rest above.
And help us, this and every day,
To live more nearly as we pray.

1 In the morning I will raise
To my God the voice of praise;
With His kind protection blest.
Sweet and deep has been my rest.
2 In the morning I will pray
For His blessing on the day;
What this day shall be my lot.
Light or darkness, know I not.
3 Should it be with clouds o'ercast.
Clouds of sorrow gathering fast,
Thou, who givest light Divine,
Shine within me, Lord, O shine.
4 Show me, if I tempted be,
How to find all strength in Thee,
And a perfect triumph win
Over every bosom sin.
5 Keep my feet from secret snares.
Keep my eyes, O God, from tears.
Every step Thy grace attend.
And my soul from death defend.

All within shall still be light;
Thou wilt peace around diffuse.

Unaccompanied by Thee;
Joyless is the day's return
Till Thy mercy's beams I see;
Till they inward light impart,
Glad my eyes and warm my heart.

Pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
Fill me, Radiancy Divine;
Scatter all my unbelief;
More and more Thyself display,
Shining to the perfect day.

3 Darkened now each ray
O'er the traveller's way;
Let me know that Thou hast found me,
Let me feel Thine arms around me,
Sure from every ill
Thou wilt guard me still.
Blessed, heavenly Light,
Shining through earth's night;
Voice, that oft of love hast told me;
Arms, so strong to clasp and hold me;
Thou Thy watch wilt keep.
Saviour, o'er my sleep.
Rev. William Romanis, 1878
Earthly work is done.
Earthly sounds are none;
Rest in sleep and silence seeking,
Let me hear Thee softly speaking;
In my spirit's ear
Whisper, "I am near."

13 (THE RADIANT MORN) 8.8.8.4.
1 The radiant morn hath passed away.
And spent too soon her golden store;
The shadows of departing day
Creep on once more.
2 Our Kfe is but a fading dawn;
Its glorious noon how quickly past:
Lead us, O Christ, when all is gone.
Safe home at last.
3 0 by Thy soul-inspiring grace
Uplift our hearts to realms on high;
Help us to look to that bright place
Beyond the sky,
4 Where light and Hfe and joy and peace
In undivided empire reign.
And thronging angels never cease
Their deathless strain;
5 Where saints are clothed in spotless white,
And evening shadows never fall.
Where Thou, Eternal Light of Light,
Art Lord of all. Rev. Godfrey Thring, 1864

2 As Christ, upon the cross
In death redined,
Into His Father's hands
His parting soul resigned;
3 So now herself my soul
Would wholly give
Into His sacred charge,
In whom all spirits live;
4 So now beneath His eye
Would calmly rest,
Without a wish or thought
Abiding in the breast,
THE RADIANT MORN 8.8.8.4.
5 Save' that His will be done,
Whate'er betide;
Dead to herself, and dead
In Him to all beside.
6 Thus would I live; yet now
Not I, but He
In all His power and love
Henceforth alive in me,
7 One sacred Trinity,
One Lord Divine;
Myself for ever His,
And He for ever mine!

Let evil thoughts and spirits flee before us;
Till morning cometh, watch, O Master, o'er us;
In soul and body Thou from harm defend us,
Thine angels send us.
Let holy thoughts be ours when sleep o'ertakes us;
Our earliest thoughts be Thine when morning wakes us;
All day serve Thee, in all that we are doing
Thy praise pursuing.
As Thy beloved, soothe the sick and weeping.
And bid the prisoner lose his griefs in sleeping;
Widows and orphans, we to Thee commend them,
Do Thou befriend them.
We have no refuge, none on earth to aid us,
Save Thee, O Father, who Thine own hast made us;
But Thy dear presence will not leave them lonely.
Who seek Thee only.
Father, Thy Name be praised. Thy kingdom given,
Thy will be done on earth as 'tis in heaven;
Keep us in life, forgive our sins, deliver
Us now and ever.

Be every mourner's sleep to-night,

Till in the ocean of Thy love

2 Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son, 4 O may my soul on Thee repose,
The ill that I this day have done; And with sweet sleep mine eyelids close;
That with the world, myself, and Thee, Sleep that may me more vigorous make
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be. To serve my God when I awake.
3 Teach me to live, that I may dread
The grave as little as my bed;
Teach me to die, that so I may
Rise glorious at the awful day.
5 When in the night I sleepless lie.
My soul with heavenly thoughts supply;
Let no ill dreams disturb my rest.
No powers of darkness me molest.
6 O when shall I in endless day
For ever chase dark sleep away,
And hymns with the supernal choir
Incessant sing, and never tire!

1 O Light of life, O Saviour dear, 3 What sudden sunbeams cheer our sight!
Before we sleep bow down Thine ear: What dawning risen upon the night!
Through dark and day, o'er land and sea, Thou giv'st Thyself to us, and we
We have no other hope but Thee. Find guide and path and all in Thee.
2 Oft from Thy royal road we part, 4 Through day and darkness, Saviour dear,
Lost in the mazes of the heart: Abide with us, more nearly near;
Our lamps put out, our course forgot. Till on Thy face we lift our eyes,
We seek for God, and find Him not. The Sun of God's own Paradise.
5 Praise God, our Maker and our Friend;
Praise Him through time, till time shall end;
Till psalm and song His Name adore
Through heaven's great day of evermore.

2 Our changeful lives are ebbing to an end;
Onward to darkness and to death we tend:
O Conqueror of the grave, be Thou our Guide,
Be Thou our Light in death's dark eventide;
Then in our mortal hour will be no gloom,
No sting in death, no terror in the tomb.
r
3 Thou, who in darkness walking didst appear
Upon the waves, and Thy disciples cheer,
Come, Lord, in lonesome days, when storms assail,
And earthly hopes and human succors fail;
When all is dark, may we behold Thee nigh.
And hear Thy voice, "Fear not, for it is I."
4 The weary world is mouldering to decay,
Its glories wane, its pageants fade away:
In that last sunset, when the stars shall fall.
May we arise, awakened by Thy call.
With Thee, 0 Lord, for ever to abide
In that blest day which has no eventide.

2 Once more 'tis eventide, and we, 4 And none, 0 Lord, have perfect rest,
Oppressed with various ills, draw near: For none are wholly free from sin;
What if Thy form we cannot see; And they who fain would serve Thee best
We know and feel that Thou art here. Are conscious most of wrong within.
3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel: 5 O Saviour Christ, Thou too art Man,
For some are sick, and some are sad, Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried;
And some have never loved Thee well, Thy kind but searching glance can scan
And some have lost the love they had ; The very wounds that shame would hide.
6 Thy touch has still its ancient power;
No word from Thee can fruitless fall:
Hear in this solemn evening hour,
And in Thy mercy heal us all.

2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
0 Thou who changest not, abide with me.
3 I need Thy presence every passing hour;
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me,
4 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless:
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory?
1 triumph still, if Thou abide with me.
5 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies:
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee:
In lite, in death, 0 Lord, abide with me.

2 We thank Thee that Thy Church un-
sleeping,
While earth rolls onward into light,
Through all the world her watch is
keeping,
And rests not now by day or night.
3 As o'er each continent and island
The dawn leads on another day,
The voice of prayer is never silent,
Nor dies the strain of praise away.
4 The sun, that bids us rest, is waking
Our brethren 'neath the western sky,
And hour by hour fresh lips are making
Thy wondrous doings heard on high.
5 So be it. Lord; Thy throne shall never.
Like earth's proud empires, pass
away;
But stand, and rule, and grow for ever,
Till all Thy creatures own Thy sway.

Sin and want we come confessing; Thou art He who, never weary,
Thou canst save, and Thou canst heal. Watchest where Thy people be.
2 Though destruction walk around us,
Though the arrow past us fly.
Angel-guards from Thee surround us;
We are safe if Thou art nigh.
4 Should swift death this night o'ertakeus,
And our couch become our tomb,
May the morn in heaven awake us.
Clad in light and deathless bloom.

With strictest search surv^ey;
The deepest shades no more disguise
Than the full blaze of day.

No evil shall molest:
Under the shadow of Thy wings
Shall they securely rest.

Their constant stations keep:

4 Lighten mine eyes, O Saviour,
Or sleep in death shall I,
And he, my wakeful tempter,
Triumphantly shall cry,
"He could not make their darkness light,
Nor guard them through the hours of
night."
5 Be Thou my soul's Preserver,
O God, for Thou dost know
How many are the perils
Through which I have to go.
Lover of men, 0 hear my call.
And guard and save me from them all.
2 The joys of day are over:
I lift my heart to Thee,
And call on Thee that sinless
The hours of gloom may be.
O Jesus, make their darkness light,
And save me through the coming
night.
3 The toils of day are over:
I raise the hymn to Thee,
And ask that free from peril
The hours of fear may be.
O Jesus, keep me in Thy sight,
And guard me through the coming
night.

2 Awake, my love! awake, my joy!
Awake, my heart and tongue!
Sleep not: when mercies loudly call,
Break forth into a song.
3 This day God was my Sun and Shield,
My Keeper and my Guide;
His care was on my frailty shown,
His mercies multiplied.
4 Minutes and mercies multiplied
Have made up all this day:
Minutes came quick, but mercies were
More fleet and free than they.
5 New time, new favor, and new joys
Do a new song require:
Till I shall praise Thee as I would,
Accept my heart's desire.
6 Lord of my time, whose hand hath set
New time upon my score.
Then shall I praise for all my time.
When time shall be no more.

2 The sorrows of Thy servants, Lord,
O do not Thou despise,
But let the incense of our prayers
Before Thy mercy rise.
The brightness of the coming night
Upon the darkness rolls;
With hopes of future glory chase
The shadows from our souls.
3 Slowly the rays of daylight fade;
So fade within our heart
The hopes in earthly love and joy
That one by one depart.
r
Slowly the bright stars, one by one,
Within the heavens shine;
Give us, O Lord, fresh hopes in heaven,
And trust in things Divine.
Let peace, O Lord, Thy peace, 0 God,
Upon our souls descend;
From midnight fears and perils, Thou
Our trembling hearts defend:
Give us a respite from our toil,
Calm and subdue our woes;
Through the long day we labor, Lord,
O give us now repose.

2 Around the throne on high, 4 Yet, Lord, to Thy dear will
Where night can never be. If Thou attune the heart,
The white-robed harpers of the sky We in Thine angels' music still
Bring ceaseless hymns to Thee. May bear our lower part.
3 Too faint our anthems here; 5 'Tis Thine each soul to calm,
Too soon of praise we tire: Each wayward thought reclaim,
But O the strains, how full and clear, And make our life a daily psalm
Of that eternal choir! Of glory to Thy Name.
6 A little while, and then
Shall come the glorious end;
And songs of angels and of men
In perfect praise shall blend.

2 How sweetly rest Thy saints above
Which in Thy bosom lie;
The Church below doth rest in hope
Of that felicity.
4 Welcome and dear unto my soul
Are these sweet feasts of love;
But what a Sabbath shall I keep
When I shall rest above!
3 Thou, Lord, who daily feed'st Thy sheep, 5 I bless Thy wise and wondrous love,
Mak'st them a weekly feast; Which binds us to be free;
Thy flocks meet in their several folds Which makes us leave our earthly snares,
Upon this day of rest. That we may come to Thee.
6 I come, I wait, I hear, I pray,
Thy footsteps. Lord, I trace;

Unto my Saviour's face.

4 Let me with my heart to-day,
Holy, Holy, Holy, singing,
Rapt awhile from earth away.
All my soul to Thee upspringing,
Have a foretaste inly given
How they worship Thee in heaven.
5 Hence all care, all vanity,
For the day to God is holy;
Come, Thou glorious Majesty,
Deign to fill this temple lowly;
Naught to-day my soul shall move,
That Thine altar doth not know. Simply resting in Thy love.
Rev. Benjamin Schmoick, 1714. Trans, by Catherine Winkworth, 185?
2 Fount of all our joy and peace,
To Thy living waters lead me;
Thou from earth my soul release,
And with grace and mercy feed me;
Bless Thy word, that it may prove
Rich in fruits that Thou dost love.
3 Kindle Thou the sacrifice
That upon my lips is lying;
Clear the shadows from mine eyes.
That, from every error flying,
No strange fire may in me glow

From Thy perfect work didst rest,
By the souls that own Thy sway
Hallowed be its hours and blest;
Cares of earth aside he thrown,
This day given to heaven alone.
3 Saviour, who this day didst break
The dark prison of the tomb,
Bid my slumbering soul awake;
Shine through all its sin and gloom:
Let me, from my bonds set free,
Rise from sin, and live to Thee.

Cleanse, illumine, sanctify:
All Thine influence shed abroad;

2 Now met to pray and bless Thy Name, 4 In Thy blest kingdom we shall be
Whose mercies flow each day the same, From every mortal trouble free;
Whose kind compassions never cease, No sighs shall mingle with the songs
We seek instruction, pardon, peace. Resounding from immortal tongues;
3 Thy day of rest, O Lord, we love,
But look for truer rest above;
To that our laboring souls aspire
With ardent hope and strong desire.
5 No rude alarms of raging foes;
No cares to break the long repose;
No midnight shade, no waning moon,
But sacred, liigh, eternal noon.
6 O long-expected day, begin,
Dawn on these realms of woe and sin!
Break, morn of God, upon our eyes;
And let the world's true Sun arise!

1 Sweet is the work, my God, my King,
To praise Thy Name, give thanks and
sing;
To show Thy love by morning light.
And talk of all Thy truth at night.
2 Sweet is the day of sacred rest;
No mortal cares shall seize my breast;
O may my heart in tune be found,
Like David's harp of solemn sound.
3 My heart shall triumph in my Lord,
And bless His works, and bless His
word;
Thy works of grace, how bright they
shine !
How deep Thy counsels, how Divine!
4 But I shall share a glorious part
When grace hath well refined my heart,
And fresh supplies of joy are shed,
Like holy oil to cheer my head.
5 Then shall I see and hear and know
All I desired or wished below;
And every power find sweet employ
In that eternal world of joy.

As grateful incense, to the skies; In holy pleasures, pass away:
And draw from heaven that sweet repose How sweet a Sabbath thus to spend,
Which none but he that feels it knows. In hope of one that ne'er shall end.

On all the world around,
Uplifts my soul, O God, to Thee,
Where rest is found.

As weekly labors cease;
No voice but those that sweetly sing
Sweet songs of peace.

2 The King Himself comes near.
And feasts His saints to-day;
Here we may sit, and see Him here.
And love, and praise, and pray.
3 One day amidst the place
Where my dear God hath been,
Is sweeter than ten thousand days
Of pleasurable sin.
4 My willing soul would stay
In such a frame as this.
And wait to hail the brighter day
Of everlasting bliss.

2 On thee, at the creation,
The light first had its birth;
On thee, for our salvation,
Christ rose from depths of earth;
On thee our Lord, victorious.
The Spirit sent from heaven;
And thus on thee, most glorious,
A triple light was given.

3 Thou art a port protected
From storms that round us rise;
A garden intersected
With streams of Paradise;
Thou art a cooling fountain
In life's dry, dreary sand;
From thee, like Pisgah's mountain,
We view our promised land.

4 To-day on weary nations
The heavenly manna falls:
To holy convocations
The silver trumpet calls,
Where gospel light is glowing
With pure and radiant beams,
And living water flowing
With soul-refreshing streams.
5 New graces ever gaining
From this our day of rest,
We reach the rest remaining
To spirits of the blest.
To Holy Ghost be praises,
To Father, and to Son;
The Church her voice upraises
To Thee, blest Three in One.

And all Thy works from day to day declare:
Is not our Hfe with hourly mercies crowned?
Does not Thine arm encircle us around?

Too oft with careless feet from Thee we rove;

Happy birds that sing and fly
Round Thy altars, O Most High!
Happier souls that find a rest
In a heavenly Father's breast!
Like the wandering do\'e, that found
No repose on earth around, 4
They can to their ark repair,
And enjoy it ever there.
Happy souls ! their praises flow
Even in this vale of woe;
Waters in the desert rise,
Manna feeds them from the skies:
On they go from strength to strength,
Till they reach Thy throne at length;
At Thy feet adoring fall,
Who hast led them safe through all.
Lord, be mine this prize to win;
Guide me through a world of sin;
Keep me by Thy saving grace;
Give me at Thy side a place.
Sun and Shield aUke Thou art;
Guide and guard my erring heart:
Grace and glory flow from Thee;
Shower, O shower them, Lord, on me.

2 Our broken spirits pitying see, 4 When we disclose our wants in prayer,
And penitence impart; May we our wills resign;
Then let a kindling glance from Thee And not a thought our bosom share
Beam hope upon the heart. Which is not wholly Thine.
3 When our responsive tongues essay 5 Let faith each meek petition fill,
Their grateful hymns to raise, And waft it to the skies;
Grant that our souls may join the lay, And teach our hearts 'tis goodness still
And mount to Thee in praise. That grants it, or denies.

Take away our sin and shame;
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this day in Thee.

Let us feel Thy presence near;
May Thy glory meet our eyes,
While we in Thy house appear:

Hosanna, Lord! Hosanna in the highest!
3 O Saviour, with protecting care.
Return to this Thy house of prayer;
Assembled in Thy sacred Name,
Where we Thy parting promise claim:
Hosanna, Lord! Hosanna in the highest!
4 But, chiefest, in our cleansed breast,
Eternal, bid Thy Spirit rest,
And make our secret soul to be
A temple pure, and worthy Thee:
Hosanna, Lord! Hosanna in the highest!

When earth and heaven shall melt away,
Thy flock, redeemed from sinful stain.
Shall swell the sound of praise again:

Where the new song sweetly swelleth
And the discord never comes;
Where hfe's stream is ever laving,
And the palm is ever waving,
That must be the home of homes.

By ten thousand voices greeted,
Lord of lords, and King of kings.
Son of Man, they crown, they crown Him,
Son of God, they own, they own Him;
With His Name the palace rings.

2 Hast Thou imparted to my soul
A living spark of heavenly fire?
O kindle now the sacred flame;
Teach it to burn with pure desire
T
And give a new, a contrite heart,
A heart the Saviour to adore.
4 A brighter faith and hope impart,
And let me now the Saviour see:
O soothe and cheer my burdened heart,
The love that Christ for sinners bore; And bid my spirit rest in Thee.

Inhabitest the humble mind; To strengthen faith, and sweeten care,
Such ever bring Thee where they come, To teach our faint desires to rise,
And going, take Thee to their home. And bring all heaven before our eyes.

Thy former mercies here renew;
Here to our waiting hearts proclaim
The sweetness of Thy saving Name,

2 Ye blessed souls at rest,
Who ran this earthly race,
And now, from sin released,
Behold your Saviour's face,
God's praises sound, as in His light
With sweet delight ye do abound.
3 Ye saints who toil below,
Adore your heavenly King,
And onward as ye go
Some joyful anthem sing;
Take what He gives, and praise Him still,
Through good and ill, who ever lives.
4 My soul, bear thou thy part.
Triumph in God above.
And with a well-tuned heart
Sing thou the songs of love:
Let all thy days till life shall end,
Whate'er He send, be filled with praise.

How dear Thy servants in Thy sight !
How precious is their blood!

How great Thy grace to me!

And Thy rich grace record;

2 Show us, Lord, the goal of Ufe,
And give us heart to run;
Breathe the peace that follows strife,
Lest future work we shun:
Hearts that hasty time has grieved
Are by Sabbath calm relieved.
3 We would sing as in the rays
Of mercy ever bright.
Which endureth, to Thy praise,
For ever Thy delight:
Sing for happiness we know,
Or that we may happy grow.
We would pray as those who stand
Their truest Friend beside.
Whom He takes as by the hand,
Unto their God to guide;
By His power, and for His sake.
Fully us Thy children make.

Give me faith for clearer vision, Tarry with me through the darkness;
Speak Thou, Lord, in words of cheer. While I sleep, still watch by me.
6 Tarry with me, 0 my Saviour,
Lay my head upon Thy breast
Till the morning; then awake me —
Morning of eternal rest.

For Thy gospel's joyful sound:
May the fruits of Thy salvation
In our hearts and lives abound:
Ever faithful
To the truth may we be found;

Glad Thy summons to obey:

Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Who wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.
3 Holy, Holy, Holy! Though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see,
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

2 O Holy Father, who hast led Thy children
In all the ages, with the fire and cloud,
Through seas dry-shod, through weary wastes bewildering;
To Thee, in reverent love, our hearts are bowed.
S 0 Holy Jesus, Prince of Peace and Saviour,
To Thee we owe the peace that still prevails,
Stilling the rude wills of men's wild behavior,
And calming passion's fierce and stormy gales.
4 O Holy Ghost, the Lord and the Life-giver,
Thine is the quickening power that gives increase;
From Thee have flowed, as from a pleasant river,
Our plenty, wealth, prosperity and peace.
5 O Triune God, with heart and voice adoring.
Praise we the goodness that doth crown our days;
Pray we that Thou wilt hear us, still imploring
Thy love and favor, kept to us always.

Of Thy cross are heard to boast;

2 Our years are like the shadows
On sunny hills that lie,
Or grasses in the meadows
That blossom but to die;
A sleep, a dream, a story
By strangers quickly told,
An unremaining glory
Of things that soon are old.
3 0 Thou who canst not slumber,
Whose light grows never pale,
Teach us aright to number
Our years before they fail;
On us Thy mercy lighten.
On us Thy goodness rest,
And let Thy Spirit brighten
The hearts Thyself hast blessed.
4 Lord, crown our faith's endeavor
With beauty and with grace,
Till, clothed in light for ever,
We see Thee face to face:
A joy no language measures;
A fountain brimming o'er;
An endless flow of pleasures;
An ocean without shore.

"Who shall not fear Thee, Lord,
And magnify Thy Name?

From every shore.
And all adore
In one loud song."
While thus the powers on high
Their swelling chorus raise.
Let earth and man reply.
And echo back the praise:

2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, 3 What though in solemn silence all
The moon takes up the wondrous tale,
And nightly to the listening earth
Repeats the story of her birth;
Whilst all the stars that round her burn,
And all the planets in their turn,
Confirm the tidings as they roll.
And spread the truth from pole to pole.
94 LEONI 6.6.8.4.D.
Move round this dark terrestrial ball?
What though nor real voice nor sound
Amidst their radiant orbs be found?
In reason's ear they all rejoice,
And utter forth a glorious voice;
For ever singing, as they shine,
"The hand that made us is Divine.
Joseph Addison, 1712

2 The God of Abraham praise.
At whose supreme command
From earth I rise, and seek the joys
At His right hand:
I all on earth forsake.
Its wisdom, fame, and power;
And Him my only portion make,
My Shield and Tower.
3 He by Himself hath sworn,
I on His oath depend;
I shall, on eagle's wings upborne,
To heaven ascend:
iiiS
I shall behold His face,
I shall His power adore.
And sing the wonders of His grace
For evermore.
4 The whole triumphant host
Give thanks to God on high;
"Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
They ever cry:
Hail, Abraham's God and mine!
I join the heavenly lays;
All might and majesty are Thine,
And endless praise.

2 He sends His showers of blessing down 4 His hoary frost, His fleecy snow,
To cheer the plains below; Descend and clothe the ground;
He makes the grass the mountains crown. The liquid streams forbear to flow,
And corn in valleys grow. In icy fetters bound.
3 His steady counsels change the face
Of the declining year;
He bids the sun cut short his race.
And wintry days appear.
5 He sends His word, and melts the snow;
The fields no longer mourn;
He calls the warmer gales to blow,
And bids the spring return.
6 The changing wind, the flying cloud.
Obey His mighty word:
With songs and honors sounding loud
Praise ye the sovereign Lord.

And vexed with triiling cares;
While Thine eternal thought moves on

1 My God, how wonderful Thou art,
Thy majesty how bright!
How beautiful Thy mercy-seat,
In depths of burning light!
2 How dread are Thine eternal years,
O everlasting Lord,
By prostrate spirits, day and night,
Incessantly adored!
4 Yet I may love Thee too, O Lord,
Almighty as Thou art;
For Thou hast stooped to ask of me
The love of my poor heart.
5 No earthly father loves like Thee,
No mother half so mild
Bears and forbears, as Thou hast done
With me. Thy sinful child.
3 0 how I fear Thee, living God, 6 Father of Jesus, love's Reward!
With deepest, tenderest fears; What rapture will it be.
And worship Thee with trembling hope, Prostrate before Thy throne to lie,
And penitential tears. And gaze and gaze on Thee.

1 Songs of praise the angels sang.
Heaven with alleluias rang,
When Jehovah's work begun.
When He spake, and it was done.
2 Songs of praise awoke the morn,
When the Prince of Peace was born:
Songs of praise arose, when He
Captive led captivity.
4 And can man alone be dumb.
Till that glorious kingdom come?
No, the Church delights to raise
Psalms and hymns and songs of praise.
5 Saints below, with heart and voice,
Still in songs of praise rejoice.
Learning here, by faith and love.
Songs of praise to sing above.
3 Heaven and earth must pass away, 6 Borne upon their latest breath.
Songs of praise shall crown that day: Songs of praise shall conquer death;
God will make new heavens, new earth. Then, amidst eternal joy.
Songs of praise shall hail their birth. Songs of praise their powers employ.

Resist His will, distrust His care.

The Judge of all the earth is just;
Holy and true are all His ways:
Let every creature speak His praise.

His might decay. His love forsake,
Then may His children cease to sing,
"The Lord Omnipotent is King!"
5 Alike pervaded by His eye,
All parts of His dominion lie;
This world of ours, and worlds unseen,
And thin the boundary between.
6 One Lord, one empire, all secures;
He reigns, and life and death are yours:
Through earth and heaven one song
shall ring,
"The Lord Omnipotent is King!"

Who art within, a quickening Flame,
A Presence round about?

Enough for me to know Thou art.
To love Thee and adore,

Is childlike faith to me,

2 All Thy works with joy surround Thee,
Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee,
Centre of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flowery meadow, flashing sea.
Chanting bird and flowing fountain,
Call us to rejoice in Thee.
3 Thou art giving and forgiving,
Ever blessing, ever blest,
Well-spring of the joy of living,
Ocean-depth of happy rest!
Thou our Father, Christ our Brother, -
All who live in love are Thine;
Teach us how to love each other.
Lift us to the Joy Divine.
Mortals, join the mighty chorus
Which the morning stars began;
Father-love is reigning o'er us.
Brother-love binds man to man.
Ever singing, march we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife.
Joyful music leads us Sunward
In the triumph-song of life.

2 Of His deliverance I will boast,
Till all that are distressed
From my example comfort take,
And charm their griefs to rest.
3 O magnify the Lord with me,
With me exalt His Name;
When in distress to Him I called,
He to my rescue came.
4 The hosts of God encamp around
The dwellings of the just;
Deliverance He affords to all
Who on His succor trust.
5 O make but trial of His love;
Experience will decide
How blest they are, and only they,
Who in His truth confide.

Have nothing else to fear:

1 0 God, my Strength and Fortitude,
Of force I must love Thee;
Thou art my Castle and Defence
In my necessity;
2 My God, my Rock, in whom I trust.
The Worker of my wealth.
My Refuge, Buckler, and my Shield,
The Horn of all my health.
3 I, when beset with pain and grief.
Did pray to God for grace;
And He forthwith did hear my plaint
Out of His holy place.
The Lord descended from above
And bowed the heavens high.
And underneath His feet He cast
The darkness of the sky.
On cherub and on cherubim
Full royally He rode.
And on the wings of all the winds
Came flying all abroad.
Unspotted are the ways of God,
His word is purely tried ;
He is a sure Defence to such
As in His faith abide.

2 O love of God, how deep and great!
Far deeper than man's deepest hate;
Self-fed, self-kindled like the light,
Changeless, eternal, infinite.
3 0 heavenly love, how precious still,
In days of weariness and ill,
In nights of pain and helplessness.
To heal, to comfort, and to bless!
4 O wide-embracing, wondrous love! 7 0 love of God, our shield and stay
We read thee in the sky above. Through all the perils of our way!
We read thee in the earth below, Eternal love, in thee we rest,
In seas that swell, and streams that flow. For ever safe, for ever blest.
Rev. Horatius Bonar, 1861
5 We read thee best in Him who came
To bear for us the cross of shame;
Sent by the Father from on high,
Our life to live, our death to die.
6 We read thy power to bless and save,
E'en in the darkness of the grave;
Still more in resurrection light
We read the fulness of thy might.

Evening and morning hymn Thy praise,
And earth Thy bounty wide displays.
2 Our spirits faint; our sins prevail;
Leave not our trembling hearts to fail :
O Thou that hearest prayer, descend,
And still be found the sinner's Friend. 5 The year is with Thy goodness crowned;
Thy clouds drop wealth the world around ;
3 How blest Thy saints! how safely led, Through Thee the deserts laugh and sing,
How surely kept, how richly fed! And nature smiles, and owns her King.
Saviour of all in earth and sea.
How happy they who rest in Thee! 6 Lord, on our souls Thine influence pour;
The moral waste within restore:
4 Thy hand sets fast the mighty hills, O let Thy love our spring-tide be,
Thy voice the troubled ocean stills; And make us all bear fruit to Thee.
Psalm Ixiii. Rev. Henry F. Lyte, 1834: verse i, line i, alt.

(WARE) L. M.
1 High in the heavens. Eternal God, 4 My God, how excellent Thy grace.
Thy goodness in full glory shines; Whence all our hope and comfort spring!
Thy truth shall break through every cloud The sons of Adam in distress
That veils and darkens Thy designs. Fly to the shadow of Thy wing.
2 For ever firm Thy justice stands, 5 From the provisions of Thy house
As mountains their foundations keep; We shall be fed with sweet repast;
Wise are the wonders of Thy hands; There mercy like a river flows.
Thy judgments are a mighty deep. And brings salvation to our taste.
3 Thy providence is kind and large, 6 Life, like a fountain, rich and free.
Both man and beast Thy bounty share; Springs from the presence of my Lord;
The whole creation is Thy charge, And in Thy light our souls shall see
But saints are Thy peculiar care. The glories promised in Thy word.

2 Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing;
Were not the right man on our side,
The man of God's own choosing:
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth His Name, 4
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.
3 And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us;
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us:
Martin Luther,
The prince of darkness grim, —
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure.
For lo! his doom is sure.
One little word shall fell him.
That word above all earthly powers.
No thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through Him who with us sideth:
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill :
God's truth abideth still.
His kingdom is for ever.

2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought
thee,
Wretched wanderer, far astray;
Found thee lost, and kindly brought
thee
From the paths of death away:
Praise, with love's devoutest feeling,
Him who saw thy guilt-born fear,
And, the light of hope revealing,
Bade the blood-stained cross appear.
3 Praise Thy Saviour God that drew thee
To that cross, new life to give,
Held a blood-sealed pardon to thee.
Bade thee look to Him and live:
Praise the grace whose threats alarmed
thee.
Roused thee from thy fatal ease,
Praise the grace whose promise warmed
thee,
Praise the grace that whispered peace.
4 Lord, this bosom's ardent feeling
Vainly would my lips express:
Low before Thy footstool kneeling,
Deign Thy suppliant's prayer tobless :
Let Thy love, my soul's chief treasure,
Love's pure flame within me raise;
And, since words can ne\'er measure,
Let my life show forth Thy praise,

2 Thy word is love ; in lines of gold
There mercy prints its trace;
In nature we Thy steps behold,
The gospel shows Thy face.
5 Thy chastisements are love; more deep
They stamp the seal Divine,
And by a sweet compulsion keep
Our spirits nearer Thine.
3 Thy ways are love; though they transcend 6 Thy heaven is the abode of Love:
Our feeble range of sight, 0 blessed Lord, that we [move,
They wind, through darkness, to their end May there, when time's deep shades re-
in everlasting light. Be gathered home to Thee:

The living voice they find:
His love lights up the vast abyss

2 Discouraged in the work of life,
Disheartened by its load,
Shamed by its failures or its fears,
I sink beside the road;
But let me only think of Thee,
And then new heart springs up in me.

Around me flows Thy quickening life,
To nerve my faltering will :
Thy presence fills my solitude;
Thy providence turns all to good.

That never knew our God;
But children of the heavenly King
May speak their joys abroad.

Glory begun below;

1 Stand up, and bless the Lord,
Ye people of His choice;
Stand up, and bless the Lord your God

2 Though high above all praise,
Above all blessing high.
Who would not fear His holy Name,
And laud, and magnify?

4 The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets,
Before we reach the heavenly fields,
Or walk the golden streets.
5 Then let our songs abound.
And every tear be dry;
We're marching through Emmanuel's

To fairer worlds on high.
Rev. Isaac Watts, 1707: verse 2, line 3, alt.
3 O for the living flame,
From His own altar brought,
To touch our lips, our minds inspire,
And wing to heaven our thought!
4 God is our Strength and Song,
And His salvation ours;
Then be His love in Christ proclaimed
With all our ransomed powers.
5 Stand up, and bless the Lord;
The Lord your God adore:
Stand up, and bless His glorious Name
Henceforth for evermore.

2 Not for the lip of praise alone,
Nor e'en the praising heart,
I ask, but for a life made up
Of praise in every part ;
3 Praise in the common things of life.
Its goings out and in,
Praise in each duty and each deed,
However small and mean.
4 Fill every part of me with praise;
Let all my being speak
Of Thee and of Thy love, O Lord
Poor though I be, and weak.
5 So shalt Thou, Lord, from me, e'en me,
Receive the glory due,
And so shall I begin on earth
The song for ever new.
6 .So shall no part of day or night
From sacredness be free:
But all my life, in every step.
Be fellowship with Thee.

2 Praise Him for His grace and favor
To our fathers in distress;
Praise Him, still the same for ever,
Slow to chide, and swift to bless;
Praise Him, praise Him,
Glorious in His faithfulness.
3 Father-like, He tends and spares us;
Well our feeble frame He knows;
In His hands He gently bears us,
Rescues us from all our foes;
Praise Him, praise Him,
Widely as His mercy goes.
Angels, help us to adore Him;
Ye behold Him face to face;
Sun and moon, bow down before Him,
Dwellers all in time and space,
Praise Him, praise Him,
Praise with us the God of grace.

All the path in which we rove; Will His changeless goodness prove;

God is Wisdom, God is Love. God is Wisdom, God is Love.
2 Chance and change are busy ever;
Man decays, and ages move;
But His mercy waneth never:
God is Wisdom, God is Love.

Hope and comfort from above;
Everywhere His glory shineth:
God is Wisdom, God is Love.

2 At His voice creation
Sprang at once to sight,
All the angel faces,
All the hosts of light,
Thrones and dominations,
Stars upon their way.
All the heavenly orders
In their great array.
3 Humbled for a season.
To receive a Name
From the lips of sinners
Unto whom He came,
Faithfully He bore it
Spotless to the last.
Brought it back victorious.
When from death He passed.
4 In your hearts enthrone Him;
There let Him subdue
All that is not holy.
All that is not true:
Crown Him as your Captain
In temptation's hour:
Let His will enfold you
In its light and power.
5 Brothers, this Lord Jesus
Shall return again.
With His Father's glory.
With His angel train;
For all wreaths of empire
Meet upon His brow,
And our hearts confess Him
King of glory now.

Ancient of eternal days,

Be Thy just and lawful praise.

For created works of power,
Works with skill and kindness

Fly, my tongue, such guilty silence.

All to ransom guilty captives, —

2 The highest place that heaven affords 4 To them the cross, with all its shame,
Is His, is His by right. With all its grace, is given;
The King of kings, and Lord of lords, Their name an everlasting name,
And heaven's eternal Light : Their joy the joy of heaven.
3 The Joy of all who dwell above,
The Joy of all below
To whom He manifests His love,
And grants His Name to know.
5 They suffer with their Lord below,
They reign with Him above;
Their profit and their joy to know
The mystery of His love.
6 The cross He bore is life and health.
Though shame and death to Him;
His people's hope, His people's wealth.
Their everlasting theme. Rev. Thomas Keiiy, 1820

1 O Jesus, King most wonderful,
Thou Conqueror renowned,
Thou Sweetness most ineffable,
In whom all joys are found!
2 When once Thou \asitest the heart,
Then truth begins to shine,
Then earthly vanities depart,
Then kindles love Divine.
Are to our Jesus given:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.
4 He sits at God's right hand
Till all His foes submit,
And bow to His command,
And fall beneath His feet:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.
Rev. Charles Wesley, 1746: verse i, line 3, alt.
Surpassing all the joys we know,
And all we can desire!
May every heart confess Thy Name,
And ever Thee adore;
And seeking Thee, itself inflame
To seek Thee more and more.
3 0 Jesus, Light of all below,
Thou Fount of life and fire.
5 Thee may our tongues for ever bless;
Thee may we love alone;
And ever in our lives express
The image of Thine own.

3 Jesus, the Name that charms our fears, 5 He speaks; and, listening to His voice,
That bids our sorrows cease; New life the dead receive;
'Tis music in the sinner's ears. The mournful, broken hearts rejoice;
'Tis life, and health, and peace. The humble poor believe.

2 His love, what mortal thought can reach? 4 Jesus, who left His throne on high,
What mortal tongue display? Left the bright realms of bliss,
Imagination's utmost stretch And came on earth to bleed and die —
In wonder dies awav. Was ever love like this?
3 Let wonder still with lo\'e unite.
And gratitude and joy;
Be Jesus our supreme delight,
His praise our best employ.
5 Dear Lord, while we adoring pay
Our humble thanks to Thee,
May every heart with rapture say,
The Saviour died for me.
6 O may the sweet, the blissful theme
Fill every heart and tongue,
Till strangers love Thy charming Name,
And join the sacred song.

1 Come, let us join our cheerful songs 3 Jesus is worthy to receive
With angels round the throne; Honor and power Divine;
Ten thousand thousand are their tongues. And blessings, more than we can give,
But all their joys are one. Be, Lord, for ever Thine.
2 "Worthy the Lamb that died," they cry, 4 Let all that dwell above the sky,
■ "To be exalted thus:" And air, and earth, and seas,
"Worthy the Lamb," our lips reply, Conspire to lift Thy glories high,
"For He was slain for us." And speak Thine endless praise.
5 The whole creation join in one.
To bless the sacred Name
Of Him that sits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.

2 Alleluia! not as orphans,
Are we left in sorrow now;
Alleluia! He is near us,
Faith believes, nor questions how:
Though the cloud from sight received Him,
When the forty days were o'er,
Shall our hearts forget His promise,
"I am with you evermore"?
3 Alleluia! Bread of angels,
Thou on earth our Food, our Stay;
Alleluia! here the sinful
Plee to Thee from day to day;

Where the songs of all the sinless
Sweep across the crystal sea.

Thunder like a mighty flood;

2 Nearer, ever nearer,
Christ, we draw to Thee,
Deep in adoration
Bending low the knee:
Thou for our redemption
Cam'st on earth to die;
Thou, that we might follow,
Hast gone up on high.
3 Great, and ever greater.
Are Thy mercies here;
True and everlasting
Are the glories there,
Where no jxiin nor sorrow,
Toil nor care, is known.
Where the angel legions
Circle round Thy throne.
4 Brighter still, and brighter,
Glows the western sun.
Shedding all its gladness
O'er our work that's done:
Time will soon be over,
Toil and sorrow past.
May we, blessed Saviour,
Find a rest at last.
5 Onward, ever onward,
Journeying o'er the road
Worn by saints before us,
Journeying on to God;
Leaving all behind us.
May we hasten on.
Backward never looking
Till the prize is won,
6 Higher then, and liigher,
Bear the ransomed soul,
Earthly toils forgotten.
Saviour, to its goal;
Where, in joys unthought of.
Saints with angels sing.
Never weary, raising
Praises to their King.

For those whose sins He bore.

Ye ransomed sinners, sing;
Sing on rejoicing every day

2 God ruleth on high, almighty to save;
And still He is nigh — His presence we have:
The great congregation His triumph shall sing,
Ascribing salvation to Jesus, our King.
3 Salvation to God who sits on the throne!
Let all cry aloud and honor the Son:
The praises of Jesus the angels proclaim,
Fall down on their faces and worship the Lamb.
4 Then let us adore, and give Him His right,
All glory and power, and wisdom and might,
All honor and blessing, with angels above,
And thanks never ceasing, and infinite love.

Fairer still the woodlands,
Robed in the blooming garb of spring:
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer.
Who makes the woeful heart to sing.
3 Fair is the sunshine.

And all the twinkling, starry host:
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines
purer.
Than all the angels heaven can boast.

Behold His hands and side,
Rich wounds, yet visible above,
In beauty glorified:
No angel in the sky
Can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends his burning eye
At mysteries so bright.

Absorbed in prayer and praise:

And round His pierced feet
Fair flowers of Paradise extend
Their fragrance ever sweet.

2 Thou art gone where now is given
What no mortal might could gain,
On the eternal throne of heaven
In Thy Father's power to reign.
4 We, O Lord, with hearts adoring,
Follow Thee beyond the sky:
Hear our prayers Thy grace imploring,
Lift our souls to Thee on high;
3 There Thy kingdoms all adore Thee, 5 So when Thou again in glory
Heaven above and earth below; On the clouds of heaven shalt shine,
While the depths of hell before Thee We Thy flock may stand before Thee,
Trembling and amazed bow. Owned for evermore as Thine.
6 Hail! all hail! In Thee confiding,
Jesus, Thee shall all adore,
In Thy Father's might abiding
With one Spirit evermore.

1 'Tis for conquering kings to gain
Glory o'er their myriads slain;
Jesus, Thy more glorious strife
Hath restored a world to life.
2 So no other Name is given
Unto mortals under heaven
Which can make the dead to rise,
And exalt them to the skies.
3 That which Christ so hardly wrought,
That which He so dearly bought.
That salvation, mortals, say,
Will you madly cast away?
4 Rather gladly for that Name
Bear the cross, endure the shame;
Joyfully for Him to die
Is not death, but victory.
5 Dost Thou, Jesus, condescend
To be called the sinner's Friend?
Ours, then, it shall always be
Thus to make our boast of Thee.

2 'Tis the Saviour, now victorious,
Travelling onward in His might;
'Tis the Saviour, O how glorious
To His people is the sight!
Jesus now is strong to save,
Mighty to redeem the slave.
3 Why that blood His raiment staining?
'Tis the blood of many slain;
Of His foes there's none remaining,
None the contest to maintain:
Fallen they are, no more to rise.
All their glory prostrate lies.

Wear the crown so dearly won;
Never shall Thy people, never
Cease to sing what Thou hast done:

2 Crown the Saviour, angels, crown Him;
Rich the trophies Jesus brings;
In the seat of power enthrone Him,
While the vault of heaven rings:
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crown the Saviour King of kings.
3 Sinners in derision crowned Him,
Mocking thus the Saviour's claim;
Saints and angels crowd around Him,
Own His title, praise His Name:
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Spread abroad the Victor's fame.
4 Hark, those bursts of acclamation!
Hark, those loud triumphant chords!
Jesus takes the highest station;
O what joy the sight affords:
Crown Him! Crown Him!
King of kings, and Lord of lords.

To free us from the enemy;
From hell's abyss Thy people save,
And give us victory o'er the grave.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

The heavenly gate unfolds to Thee;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

3 Draw nigh, draw nigh, O Morning Star, 5 Draw nigh, draw nigh, O Lord of might,
And bring us comfort from afar;
And banish far from us the gloom
Of sinful night and endless doom.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Who once, from Sinai's flaming height,
Didst give the trembling tribes Thy law
In cloud and majesty and awe.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

2 On Him the Spirit, largely poured, 4 He comes, from the thick films of vice
Exerts its sacred fire; To clear the mental ray,
Wisdom and might, and zeal and love, And on the eye-balls of the blind
His holy breast inspire. To pour celestial day.
3 He comes, the prisoners to release,
In Satan's bondage held;
The gates of brass before Him burst.
The iron fetters yield.
5 He comes, the broken heart to bind,
The bleeding soul to cure;
And with the treasures of His grace
To enrich the humble poor.
6 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,
Thy welcome shall proclaim;
And heaven's eternal arches ring
With Thy beloved Name.

Dear Desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.

3 Born Thy people to deliver,
Born a child, and yet a King,
Born to reign in us for ever,
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.

By Thine all-sufficient merit
Raise us to Thy glorious throne.

Which they chant in hymns of joy:
"Glory in the highest, glory;
Glory be to God Most High!
3 " Peace on earth, good- will from heaven,
Reaching far as man is found;
Souls redeemed, and sins forgiven;
Loud our golden harps shall sound.
4 "Christ is born, the great Anointed;
Heaven and earth His glory sing:
Glad receive whom God appointed
For your Prophet, Priest, and King.
5 "Hasten, mortals, to adore Him;
Learn His Name, and taste His joy;
Till in heaven you sing before Him,

2 The answering hills of Palestine
Send back the glad reply,
And greet from all their holy heights
The Day-spring from on high:
O'er the blue depths of Galilee
There comes a holier calm; 4
And Sharon waves in solemn praise
Her silent groves of palm.
3 "Glory to God!" the lofty strain
The realm of ether fills;
How sweeps the song of solemn joy
O'er Judah's sacred hills!
"Glory to God!" the sounding skies
Loud with their anthems ring:
"Peace on the earth; good- will to men.
From heaven's eternal King."
This day shall Christian tongues be mute,
And Christian hearts be cold?
O catch the anthem that from heaven
O'er Judah's mountains rolled,
When burst upon that listening night
The high and solemn lay,
"Glory to God; on earth be peace:"
Salvation comes to-day.

2 Then to the watchful shepherds it was told,
Who heard the angelic herald's voice: "Behold,
I bring good tidings of a Saviour's birth
To you and all the nations upon earth:
This day hath God fulfilled His promised word;
This day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord."
3 He spake: and straightway the celestial choir
In hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire;

4 O may we keep and ponder in our mind
God's wondrous love in saving lost mankind;
Trace we the Babe, who has retrieved our loss,
From His poor manger to His bitter cross;
Treading His steps, assisted by His grace,
Till man's first heavenly state again takes place.
5 Then may we hope, the angelic thrones among,
To sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song;
He that was born upon this joyful day.
Around us all His glory shall display;
Saved by His love, incessant we shall sing
Eternal praise to heaven's Almighty King.

2 Joy to the earth! the Saviour reigns:
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills,

Repeat the sounding joy.
3 No more let sins and sorrows grow.
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found.
4 He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness.
And wonders of His love.

2 For Christ is born of Mary;
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth;
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
3 How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear His coming.
But in this w^orld of sin,
Where meek souls \\'ill receive Him stiJl,
The dear Christ enters in.
4 0 holy Child of Bethlehem,
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin, and enter in.
Be born in us to-day.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
0 come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel.

2 Then angels on their starry way
Felt bliss unfelt before.
For news that men should be as they,
To darkened earth they bore;
So toiling men and spirits bright
A first communion had, 4
And in meek mercy's rising light
Were each exceeding glad.
3 And we are glad, and we will sing.
As in the days of yore;
Come all, and hearts made ready bring.
To welcome back once more
The day when first on wintry earth
A summer change began,
And, dawning in a lowly birth.
Uprose the Light of man.
For trouble such as men must bear
From childhood to fourscore.
He shared with us, that we might share
His joy for evermore;
And twice a thousand years of grief,
Of conflict, and of sin,
May tell how large the harvest sheaf
His patient love shall mn.

2 Hark! a voice from yonder manger,
Soft and sweet, doth entreat:
"Flee from woe and danger;
Brethren, come; from all doth grieve you
You are freed; all you need
I will surely give you."
3 Come, then, let us hasten yonder:
Here let all, great and small,
Kneel in awe and wonder;
Love Him who with love is yearning,
Hail the Star that from far
Bright with hope is burning.
4 Blessed Saviour, let me find Thee;
Keep Thou me close to Thee,
Cast me not behind Thee:
Life of Ufe, my heart Thou stillest,
Calm I rest on Thy breast,
All this void Thou fillest.

1 All praise to Thee, Eternal Lord,
Clothed in a garb of flesh and blood;
Choosing a manger for Thy throne,
While worlds on worlds are Thine alone.
2 Once did the skies before Thee bow;
A Virgin's arms contain Thee now:
Angels who did in Thee rejoice
Now listen for Thine infant voice.
3 A little Child, Thou art our Guest,
That weary ones in Thee may rest;
Martin Luther,
Forlorn and lowly is Thy birth,
That we may rise to heaven from earth.
4 Thou comest in the darksome night
To make us children of the light.
To make us, in the realms Divine,
Like Thine own angels round Thee shine.
5 All this for us Thy love hath done;
By this to Thee our love is won:
For this we tune our cheerful lays.
And shout our thanks in ceaseless praise.

4 Holy Jesus, every day
Keep us in the narrow way;
And, when earthly things are past^
Bring our ransomed souls at last
Where they need no star to guide,
Where no clouds Thy glory hide.
5 In the heavenly country bright
Need they no created light;
Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown,
Thou its Sun which goes not down;
There for ever may we sing
2 As with joyful steps they sped
To that lowly manger-bed,
There to bend the knee before
Him whom heaven and earth adore;
So may we with wdlling feet
Ever seek Thy mercy-seat.
3 As they offered gifts most rare
At that manger rude and bare;
So may we with holy joy,
Pure, and free from sin's alloy,
All our costliest treasures bring.
Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King. Alleluias to our King.

2 Cold on His cradle the dewdrops are shining;
Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall:
Angels adore Him in slumber reclining,
Maker and Monarch and Saviour of all.
3 Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion,
Odors of Edom and offerings Divine,
Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean,
Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine?
4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation;
Vainly with gifts would His favor secure:
Richer by far is the heart's adoration;
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.

He wrought no sign : but meekness, truth,
And duty marked each step He trod;
And love to man, and love to God.
Jesus, my Saviour, Master, King,
Who didst for me the burden bear,
While saints in heaven Thy glory sing,
Let me on earth Thy hkeness wear:
Mine be the path Thy feet have trod;
Duty and love to man and God.

Beside the Syrian sea,
The gracious calling of the Lord,
Let us, Hke them, without a word
Rise up and follow Thee.

O calm of hills above,
Where Jesus knelt to share with Thee

Till all our strivings cease:
Take from our souls the strain and stress.

2 And lo, Thy touch brought Ufe and health,
Gave speech, and strength, and sight;
And youth renewed and frenzy calmed
Owned Thee, the Lord of light:
And now, O Lord, be near to bless,
Almighty as of yore,
In crowded street, by restless couch,
As by Gennesareth's shore.
3 Though Love and Might no longer heal
By touch, or word, or look;
Though they who do Thy work must
read
Thy laws in nature's book;
Yet come to heal the sick man's soul,
Come, cleanse the leprous taint;
Give joy and peace where all is strife,
And strength where all is faint.
4 Be Thou our great Deliverer still,
Thou Lord of life and death;
Restore and quicken, soothe and bless
With Thine almighty breath.
To hands that work and eyes that see
Give wisdom's heavenly lore,
That whole and sick, and weak and
strong,
May praise Thee evermore.

With low sad voice He calleth thee,

And straightway left all things below,
Counting his earthly gain as loss
"Leave this vain world, and follow Me." For Jesus and His blessed cross.
2 O soul, bowed down with harrowing care, 4 That '' Follow Me" his faithful ear
Hast thou no thought for heaven to spare? Seemed every day afresh to hear:
From earthly toils lift up thine eye; Its echoes stirred his spirit still,
Behold, the Master passeth by! And fired his hope, and nerved his will.

Why should we then our bliss delay?

1 O mean may seem this house of clay,
Yet 'twas the Lord's abode;
Our feet may mourn this thorny way,
Yet here Emmanuel trod.
2 This fleshly robe the Lord did wear,
This watch the Lord did keep,
These burdens sore the Lord did bear
These tears the Lord did weep.
3 Our very frailty brings us near
Unto the Lord of heaven;
To every grief, to every tear.
Such glory strange is given.

4 But not this fleshly robe alone
Shall link us. Lord, to Thee;
Not only in the tear and groan
Shall the dear kindred be.
5 We shall be reckoned for Thine own
Because Thy heaven we share,
Because we sing around Thy throne,
And Thy bright raiment wear.
6 O mighty grace, our life to live,
To make our earth Divine:
O mighty grace. Thy heaven to give,
And lift our life to Thine.

2 He sent no angel to our race,
Of higher or of lower place,
But He Himself to this world came,
And wore the robe of human frame.
3 For us baptized, for us He bore
His holy fast, and hungered sore,
For us temptations sharp He knew,
For us the tempter overthrew.
4 For us He preaches and He prays.
Would do all things, would try all ways;
By words, and signs, and actions, thus
Still seeking not Himself, but us.
5 For us to wicked men betrayed,
Scourged, mocked, in crown of thorns
arrayed;
For us He bore the cross's death.
For us at length gave up His breath.
6 For us He rose from death again,
For us He went on high to reign.
For us He sent His Spirit here
To guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.

1 O who Hke Thee so calm, so bright, 3 And all Thy life's unchanging years,
Thou Son of Man, Thou Light of Light, A man of sorrows and of tears,
O who hke Thee did ever go The cross, where all our sins were laid,
So patient through a world of woe! Upon Thy bending shoulders weighed;
2 0 who like Thee so humbly bore
The scorn, the scoffs of men before ;
So meek, forgiving. Godlike, high.
So glorious in humility!
4 And death, that sets the prisoner free,
Was pang and scoff and scorn to Thee ;
Yet love through all Thy torture glowed.
And mercy with Thy life-blood flowed.
5 O in Thy light be mine to go.
Illuming all this way of woe;
And give me ever on the road
To trace Thy footsteps, Son of God.

From sin and death we flee;
And he who would the Father seek
Must seek Him, Lord, by Thee.
2 Thou art the Truth: Thy word alone
True wisdom can impart;
Thou only canst inform the mind.
And purify the heart.
3 Thou art the Life: the rending tomb
Proclaims Thy conquering arm,
And those who put their trust in Thee
Nor death nor hell shall harm.

That Truth to keep, that Life to win,
Whose joys eternal flow.

2 There prophets praise Thy glorious Name, 4 But there is work on earth to do,
And deeds which Thou hast done; The suffering soul to heal;
And there the Father's words proclaim The harvest great, the laborers few
His own beloved Son. Thy kingdom to reveal.
3 The rays of Thy transfigured face
Beam with such golden light
That we would never leave the place,
Nor lose the heavenly sight.
5 We may not linger on the mount.
Where bright Thy glories shine;
We may not taste the sacred fount
Of blessedness Divine:
6 But let some beams of heavenly light
Make bright our earthly way;
Then grant the beatific sight
Of heaven and endless day. Rev. John Anketeii, i?

Her anthem shall prepare.

Love brought Thee down to me;
Thy thirst for my salvation

O love beyond all telling,
That led Thee to embrace,
In love all love excelling.
Our lost and fallen race.
4 Ye, who with guilty terror
' Are trembling, fear no more:
With love and grace the Saviour
Shall you to hope restore.
He comes: He comes, who sinners
Shall with the children place,
The children of His Father,
The heirs of life and grace.

2 Ride on! ride on in majesty! 4 Ride on! ride on in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die: Thy last and fiercest strife is nigh;
O Christ, Thy triumphs now begin The Father on His sapphire throne
O'er captive death and conquered sin. Expects His own Anointed Son.
3 Ride on! ride on in majesty! 5 Ride on! ride on in majesty!
The winged squadrons of the sky In lowly pomp ride on to die;
Look down with sad and wondering eyes Bow Thy meek head to mortal pain,
To see the approaching sacrifice. Then take, O God, Thy power, and reign.

1 Throned upon the awful tree.
King of grief, I watch with Thee:
Darkness veils Thine anguished face,
None its lines of woe can trace.
None can tell what pangs unknown
Hold Thee silent and alone:
f
God's own sacrifice complete:
"It is finished!" — hear the cry;
Learn of Jesus Christ to die.
Early hasten to the tomb
Where they laid His breathless clay:
All is solitude and gloom;
Who hath taken Him away?
Christ is risen! He meets our eyes.
Saviour, teach us so to rise.
James Montgomery, 1820 (Text of 1853)
3 Hark that cry that peals aloud
Upward through the whelming cloud!
Thou, the Father's only Son,
Thou, His own Anointed One,
Thou dost ask Him — can it be?
"Why hast Thou forsaken Me?"
2 Silent through those three dread hours, 4 Lord, should fear and anguish roll
Wrestling with the evil powers, Darkly o'er my sinful soul.
Left alone with human sin. Thou, who once wast thus bereft
Gloom around Thee and within. That Thine own might ne'er be left,
Till the appointed time is nigh. Teach me by that bitter cry
Till the Lamb of God may die. In the gloom to know Thee nigh.

2 O noblest Brow and dearest,
In other days the world
All feared when Thou appearedst;
What shame on Thee is hurled!
How art Thou pale with anguish,
With sore abuse and scorn;
How does that visage languish
Which once was bright as morn!
3 What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered
Was all for sinners' gain:
Mine, mine was the transgression,
But Thine the deadly pain.
Lo, here I fall, my Saviour!
'Tis I deserve Thy place;
Look on me with Thy favor,
Vouchsafe to me Thy grace.

4 Wliat language shall I borrow
To thank Thee, dearest Friend,
For this Thy dying sorrow.
Thy pity without end?
0 make me Thine for ever;
And should I fainting be.
Lord, let me never, never
Outlive my love to Thee.
5 Be near when I am dying,
O show Thy cross to me;
And for my succor flying,
Come, Lord, to set me free:
These eyes, new faith receiving,
From Jesus shall not move;
For he who dies believing,
Dies safely, through Thy love.

And melt my eyes to tears.
3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay
And shut his glories in, The debt of love I owe;
When He, the mighty Maker, died Here, Lord, I give myself away,
For man the creature's sin. 'Tis all that I can do.

1 O Thou, the Eternal Son of God,
The Lamb for sinners slain,
We worship, while Thy head is bowed
In agony and pain.
3 Thou Great High Priest,Thy glory-robes
To-day are laid aside;
And human sorrows, Son of Man,
Thy Godhead seem to hide.
2 None tread with Thee the holy place; 4 The cross is sharp, but in Thy woe
Thou sufferest alone; This is the lightest part;
Thine is the perfect sacrifice Our sin it is which pierces Thee,
Which only can atone. And breaks Thy sacred heart. .
5 Who love Thee most, at Thy dear cross
Will truest. Lord, abide;
Make Thou that cross our only hope,
O Jesus crucified.

2 We may not know, we cannot tell,
What pains He had to bear;
But we believe it was for us
He hung and suffered there.
3 He died that we might be forgiven,
He died to make us good,
That we might go at last to heaven,
Saved by His precious blood.
4 There was no other good enough
To pay the price of sin;
He only could unlock the gate
Of heaven, and let us in.

And we must love Him too,
And trust in His redeeming blood,
And try His works to do.

2 No work is left undone
Of all the Father willed;
His toil. His sorrows, one by one,
The Scripture have fulfilled.
3 No pain that we can share
But He has felt its smart;
All forms of human grief and care
Have pierced that tender heart.
4 And on His thorn-crowned head,
And on His sinless soul,
Our sins in all their guilt were laid.
That He might make us whole.
5 In perfect love He dies;
For me He dies, for me:
O all-atoning Sacrifice,
I cUng by faith to Thee.

Before the judgment- throne,
Thy work, O Lamb of God, I'll plead,

As Thou for me hast wrought;
And let my love the answer be
To grace Thy love has brought.

While Thou hast seen my falsehood and my shame.
3 With taunts and scoffs they mock what seems Thy weakness,
With blows and outrage adding pain to pain:
Thou art unmoved and steadfast in Thy meekness;
When I am wronged how quickly I complain.
4 My Lord, my Saviour, when I see Thee wearing
Upon Thy bleeding brow the crown of thorn,
Shall I for pleasure live, or shrink from bearing
Whate'er my lot may be of pain or scorn?
5 O Victim of Thy love! O pangs most healing!
0 saving death! 0 wounds that I adore!
O shame most glorious! Christ, before Thee kneeling,
1 pray Thee keep me Thine for evermore.

4 For His people's sins chastised
She beheld her Son despised,
Bound and bleeding 'neath the rod ;
Saw the Lord's Anointed taken,
Dying desolate, forsaken.
Heard Him yield His soul to God.
2 O the weight of her afHiction!
Hers, who won God's benediction,
Hers, who bore God's Holy One:
O that speechless, ceaseless yearning!
-^ O those dim eyes never turning
From her wondrous, suffering Son!
3 Who upon that Mother gazing.
In her trouble so amazing,
Born of woman, would not weep?
Who of Christ's dear Mother thinking,
While her Son that cup is drinking,
Would not share her sorrow deep?
5 Near Thy cross, O Christ, abiding.
Grief and love my heart dividing,
I with her would take my place:
By Thy guardian cross uphold me,
In Thy dying, Christ, enfold me
With the deathless arms of grace.
Anon. (Latin, 13th century; ascribed to Jacopone da Todi).

2 How came the everlasting Son,
The Lord of Life, to die?
Why didst Thou meet the tempter's
power.
Why, Jesus, in Thy dying hour
Endure such agony?
3 To save us by Thy precious blood,
To make us one in Thee,
That ours might be Thy perfect life,
Thy thorny crown. Thy cross, Thy
strife.
And ours the victory.
4 O make us worthy, gracious Lord,
Of all Thy love to be;
To Thy blest will our wills incline,
That unto death we may be Thine,
And ever live in Thee.
Mrs. Caroline E. May, 1858: verse 2, line 3, alt.

14 The sun is sinking fast. 445
33 And now the sun's declining rays. 447
163 O Christ, our King, Creator, Lord. 470
439 Not all the blood of beasts. 559
440 Praise to the Holiest in the height. 564
441 O mystery of love Divine. 621

444 Thy life was given for me. 712
Nature with open volume stands.
Saviour, when in dust to Thee.
Beneath the cross of Jesus.
My God, I love Thee; not because.
Blessed Saviour, Thee I love.
When our heads are bowed with woe.
In His own raiment clad.
From the cross uplifted high.

2 'Tis the spring of souls to-day :
Christ hath burst His prison,
And from three days' sleep in death
As a sun hath risen;
All the winter of our sins,
Long and dark, is flying ^
From His light, to whom we give
Laud and praise undying.
3 Now the Queen of seasons, bright
With the day of splendor,
With the royal feast of feasts.
Comes its joy to render;
John of Damascus
Comes to glad Jerusalem,
Who with true affection
Welcomes in unwearied strains
Jesus' resurrection.
Neither might the gates of death,
Nor the tomb's dark portal.
Nor the watchers, nor the seal,
Hold Thee as a mortal:
But to-day amidst the Twelve
Thou didst stand, bestowing
That Thy peace, which evermore
Passeth human knowing.

vWe sing, we ever sing;
For He invaded death's abode,
And robbed him of his sting.
• The house of dust enthralls no more,
For He, the Strong to save,
Himself doth guard that silent door,
Great Keeper of the grave.
3 To Thee and to Thy Christ, O God,
We sing, we ever sing;
For He hath crushed beneath His rod
The world's proud rebel king.
He plunged in His imperial strength
To gulfs of darkness down;
He brought His trophy up at length,
The foiled usurper's crown.
4 To Thee and to Thy Christ, 0 God,
We sing, we ever sing;
For He redeemed us with His blood
From every evil thing.
Thy saving strength His arm upbore.
The arm that set us free:
Glory, O God, for evermore
Be to Thy Christ and Thee.

For your departed Lord; 'Tis Jesus still appears.
Behold the place. He is not here, A risen Lord to chase away

The gates of death were closed in vain: O weep no more your comforts slain;

Your early footsteps bend;

Once by the law your hopes were slain.
But now in Christ ye live again.

When life's last hour draws nigh.
If Jesus shine upon the soul.
How blissful then to die !
Since He has risen that once was slain,
Ye die in Christ to live again.

2 Hymns of praise then let us sing
Unto Christ our heavenly King,
Who endured the cross and grave,
Sinners to redeem and save.
Alleluia!
3 But the pains which He endured
Our salvation have procured;
Now above the sky He 's King,
Where the angels ever sing.
Alleluia!
4 Sing we to our God above
Praise eternal as His love;
Praise Him, all ye heavenly host,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Alleluia!

Christ has burst the gates of hell:

3 Lives again our glorious King:
Where, 0 death, is now thy sting?
Once He died, our souls to save:
Where thy victory, 0 grave ?
4 Soar we now where Christ has led,
Following our exalted Head:
Made like Him, like Him we rise;
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.
5 Hail the Lord of earth and heaven!
Praise to Thee by both be given:

1 I say to all men, far and near,
That He is risen again;
That He is with us now and here.
And ever shall remain.
2 And what I say, let each this morn
Go tell it to his friend.
A new and endless life they take
With rapture from His hand.
4 The fears of death and of the grave
Are whelmed beneath the sea.
And every heart, now Ught and brave.
May face the things to be.
That soon in every place shall dawn 5 r^^^ ^j darkness that He trod,
His kmgdom without end. -p^ \^.t2.vtx^ at last shall come,
3 Now first to souls who thus awake And he who hearkens to His word,
Seems earth a fatherland: Shall reach His Father's home.

2 Thou art gone up before us, Lord, 4
To make for us a place,
That we may be where now Thou art,
And look upon God's face.
3 And ever on our earthly path
A gleam of glory lies,
A light still breaks behind the cloud
That veiled Thee from our eyes.
Lift up our hearts, lift up our minds:
Let Thy dear grace be given.
That, while we wander here below,
Our treasure be in heaven;
That where Thou art, at God' s right hand,
Our hope, our love, may be:
Dwell Thou in us, that we may dwell
For evermore in Thee.

2 Who is this that comes in glory,
With the trump of jubilee ?
Lord of battles, God of armies.
He has gained the victory;
He who on the cross did suffer,
He who from the grave arose.
He has vanquished sin and Satan,
He by death has spoiled His foes.
3 Thou hast raised our human nature
In the clouds to God's right hand;
There we sit in heavenly places.
There with Thee in glory stand:
Jesus reigns, adored by angels,
Man with God is on the throne;
Mighty Lord, in Thine ascension
We by faith behold our own.

There the glorious triumph waits:
Lift your heads, eternal gates;
Wide unfold the radiant scene;
Take the King of Glory in.
Him though highest heaven receives,
Still He loves the earth He leaves;
Though returning to His throne,
Still He calls mankind His own.
See, He Kfts His hands above;
See, He shows the prints of love;
Hark! His gracious lips bestow
Blessings on His Church below.
Still for us His death He pleads;
Prevalent He intercedes;
Near Himself prepares our place,
Harbinger of human race.
6 Lord, though parted from our sight
High above yon azure height.
Grant our hearts may thither rise,
Following Thee beyond the skies.

2 He is gone: towards their goal
World and Church must onward roll;
Far behind we leave the past,
Forward are our glances cast;
Still His words before us range
Through the ages as they change;
Wheresoe'er the truth shall lead,
He will give whate'er we need.
3 He is gone; but we once more
Shall behold Him as before,
In the heaven of heavens the same
As on earth He went and came.
In the many mansions there.
Place for us He will prepare;
In that world unseen, unknown,
He and we may yet be one.
4 He is gone; but, not in vain,
Wait until He comes again.
He is risen, He is not here.
Far above this earthly sphere;
Evermore in heart and mind
There our peace in Him we find:
To our own Eternal Friend,
Thitherward let us ascend.

To pass unto Thy crown:

Lead us at last to Thee.

2 He who for men their Surety stood,
And poured on earth His precious blood,
Pursues in heaven His mighty plan.
The Saviour and the Friend of man.
3 Though now ascended up on high.
He bends on earth a brother's eye;
Partaker of the human name.
He knows the frailty of our frame.
And still remembers in the skies
His tears, His agonies, and cries.
In every pang that rends the heart
The Man of Sorrows had a part;
He sympathizes with our grief,
And to the sufferer sends relief.

A fellow-feeUng of our pains,

With boldness, therefore, at the throne
Let us make all our sorrows known.
And ask the aids of heavenly power
To help us in the evil hour.

And answering island sing
The praises of Thy royal Name,
And own Thee as their King.
3 Bid the whole earth, responsive now
To the bright world above,
Break forth in rapturous strains of
joy
In memory of Thy love.
4 Lord, Lord, Thy fair creation groans,
The air, the earth, the sea,
In unison with all our hearts,
And calls aloud for Thee.
5 Come, then, with all Thy quickening

With one awakening smile.
And bid the serpent's trail no more

Of grace and peace Divine:

Daily ascends their sigh: Build up this ruined earth;

Dost Thou not hear the cry? Creation's second birth.

Of everlasting peace;
Come, take the kingdom to Thyself,

The hidden thunders call.
3 Lift up your heads, rejoice.
Redemption draweth nigh;
O note the varying signs
Of earth, and air, and sky;
The God of glory comes
In gentleness and might,
To comfort and alarm,
To succor and to smite.
4 He comes, the wide world's King,
He comes, the true heart's Friend,
New gladness to begin.
And ancient wrong to end;
He comes, to fill with light
The weary waiting eye:
Lift up your heads, rejoice.
Redemption draweth nigh.

2 What rush of alleluias
Fills all the earth and sky!
What ringing of a thousand harps
Bespeaks the triumph nigh!
O day, for which creation
And all its tribes were made;
O joy, for all its former woes
A thousand fold repaid!
3 0 then what raptured greetings
On Canaan's happy shore;
What knitting severed friendships up
Where partings are no more!
16
Then eyes with joy shall sparkle,
That brimmed with tears of late;
Orphans no longer fatherless,
Nor widows desolate.
4 Bring near Thy great salvation,
Thou Lamb for sinners slain;
Fill up the roll of Thine elect,
Then take Thy power, and reign:
Appear, Desire of nations,
Thine exiles long for home;
Show in the heaven Thy promised sign;
Thou Prince and Saviour, come.

She wakes, she rises from her gloom:
For her Lord comes down all glorious.
The Strong in grace, in truth Victorious,
Her Star is risen, her Light is come.
Ah, come, Thou blessed Lord,
O Jesus, Son of God;
Alleluia!
We follow till the halls we see
Where Thou hast bid us sup with Thee.
With harp and cymbal's clearest tone ;
Of one pearl each shining portal.
Where we are with the choir immortal
Of angels round Thy dazzling throne;
Nor eye hath seen, nor ear
Hath yet attained to hear
What there is ours;
But we rejoice and sing to Thee
Our hymn of joy eternally.

To an earnest, heartfelt prayer; Glads our hearts, and dries our tears;
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Comes to save us from despair. Cheering e'en our failing years.
3 Jesus comes to hearts rejoicing.
Bringing news of sins forgiven;
Jesus comes in sounds of gladness.
Leading souls redeemed to heaven;
Alleluia ! Alleluia !

The dead in Christ shall first arise,
At the last trumpet's sounding,
Caught up to meet Him in the skies.
With joy their Lord surrounding;
No gloomy fears their souls dismay;
His presence sheds eternal day
On those prepared to meet Him.
But sinners, filled with guilty fears,
Behold His wrath prevailing;
For they shall rise, and find their tears
And sighs are unavailing:
The day of grace is past and gone;
Trembling they stand before the throne,
All unprepared to meet Him.
4 Great God, what do I see and hear!
The end of things created!
The Judge of mankind doth appear,
On clouds of glory seated!
Beneath His cross I view the day
When heaven and earth shall pass away,
And thus prepare to meet Him.

2 Do thou, my soul, beware, beware lest thou in sleep sink down,
Lest thou be given o'er to death, and lose the golden crown;
But see that thou be sober, with a watchful eye, and thus
Cry, "Holy, Holy, Holy God, have mercy upon us!"
3 That day, the day of fear, shall come: my soul, slack not thy toil,
But Hght thy lamp, and feed it well, and make it bright with oil;
Who knowest not how soon may sound the cry at eventide,
"Behold, the Bridegroom comes! Arise! Go forth to meet the Bride!"
4 Beware, my soul! take then good heed lest thou in slumber lie,
And, like the five, remain without, and knock, and vainly cry;
But watch, and bear thy lamp undimmed, and Christ shall gird thee on
His own bright wedding-robe of light, — the glory of the Son.

Grant Thy gift of absolution

All my shame with anguish owning;
Spare, O God, Thy suppliant groaning.

Thou the dying thief forgavest;
And to me a hope vouchsafest.
Worthless are my prayers and sighing;
Yet, good Lord, in grace complying.
Rescue me from fires undying.

When heaven and earth shall pass away !

When louder yet, and yet more dread,
Swells the high trump that wakes the

Be Thou the trembling sinner's stay.
Though heaven and earth shall pass

2 I ask no dream, no prophet-ecstasies.
No sudden rending of the veil of clay,
No angel- visitant, no opening skies;
But take the dimness of my soul away,
3 Hast Thou not bid us love Thee, God and King?
All, all Thine own, soul, heart, and strength, and mind;
I see Thy cross - — there teach my heart to cling :
O let me seek Thee, and O let me find,
4 Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh;
Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear.
To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh;
Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.

One holy passion filling all my frame;
The baptism of the heaven-descended Dove,
My heart an altar, and Thy love the flame.

2 Love is kind, and suffers long;
Love is meek, and thinks no wrong;
Love than death itself more strong;
Therefore give us love.
3 Prophecy will fade away,
Melting in the light of day;
Love will ever with us stay;
Therefore give us love.
4 Faith will vanish into sight;
Hope be emptied in delight;
Love in heaven will shine more bright;
Therefore give us love.
5 Faith and hope and love we see,
Joining hand in hand, agree;
But the greatest of the three,
And the best, is love.
6 From the overshadowing
Of Thy gold and silver wing.
Shed on us who to Thee sing
Holy, heavenly love.

2 Come, tenderest Friend and best,
Our most delightful Guest,
With soothing power:
Rest, which the weary know;
Shade, 'mid the noontide glow;
Peace, when deep griefs o'erflow, —
Cheer us this hour.
4 Exalt our low desires;
Extinguish passion's fires;
Heal every wound:
Our stubborn spirits bend,
Our icy coldness end.
Our devious steps attend,
While heavenward bound.
3 Come, Light serene, and still
Our inmost bosoms fill;
Dwell in each breast:
We know no dawn but Thine;
Send forth Thy beams Divine
On our dark souls to shine,
And make us blest.

5 Come, all the faithful bless:
Let all who Christ confess
His praise employ;
Give virtue's rich reward;

Set the burdened sinner free;
Lead me to the Lamb of God,
Wash me in His precious blood.
3 Life and peace to me impart;
Seal salvation on my heart;
Breathe Thyself into my breast,
Earnest of immortal rest.
4 Let me never from Thee stray.
Keep me in the narrow way,
Fill my soul with joy Divine,
Keep me. Lord, for ever Thine.

Till Christ has all the nations blest
That see the light, or feel the sun.
Great Sun of Righteousness, arise;
Bless the dark world with heavenly
Ught:
Thy gospel makes the simple wise.
Thy laws are pure, Thy judgments
right.
Thy noblest wonders here we view
In souls renewed, and sins forgiven:
Lord, cleanse my sins, my soul renew,
And make Thy word my guide to heaven.
Psalm xix. Rev. Isaac Watts, 1719
Lowell Mason, 1830
2 The rolling sun, the changing light,
And nights and days. Thy power con-
fess ; 5
But the blest volume Thou hast writ
Reveals Thy justice and Thy grace.
3 Sun, moon, and stars convey Thy praise
Round the whole earth, and never stand;
So when Thy truth began its race.
It touched and glanced on every land.
4 Nor shall Thy spreading gospel rest
Till through the world Thy Truth has
run;

1 God, in the gospel of His Son,
Makes His eternal counsels known;
Where love in all its glory shines, 4
And truth is drawn in fairest lines.
2 Here sinners of a humble frame
May taste His grace, and learn His
Name;
May read, in characters of blood, 5
The wisdom, power, and grace of God.
5 The prisoner here may break his chains ;
The weary rest from all his pains;
Verses i, 2, Rev. Benjamin Beddome, i
Winter is past and gone,
Now He, salvation's Sun,
Shineth on every one
With mercy's light.
4 From the bright sky above,
Clad in His robes of love,
'Tis He, our Lord!
Dim earth itself grows clear,
As His Hght draweth near:
O let us hush and hear
His holy word.
Rev. Thomas T. Lynch, 1855
The captive feel his bondage cease ;
The mourner find the way of peace.
Here faith reveals to mortal eyes
A brighter world beyond the skies;
Here shines the light which guides oui

From earth to realms of endless day.
O grant us grace. Almighty Lord,
To read and mark Thy holy word ;
Its truths with meekness to receive.
And by its holy precepts live.

And dark clouds before us,

5 Word of mercy, giving

1 The Spirit breathes upon the word,
And brings the truth to sight;
Precepts and promises afford
A sanctifying light.
2 A glory gilds the sacred page.
Majestic, like the sun:
It gives a light to every age;
It gives, but borrows none.
3 The Hand that gave it still supplies
The gracious light and heat:
His truths upon the nations rise;
They rise, but never set.
4 Let everlasting thanks be Thine
For such a bright display
As makes a world of darkness shine
With beams of heavenly day.
5 My soul rejoices to pursue
The steps of Him I love.
Till glory break upon my view
In brighter worlds above.

Thus dermng from their banner
Light by night and shade by day,
Safe they feed upon the manna
Which He gives them when they pray.
4 Saviour, if of Zion's city
I, through grace, a member am,
Let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in Thy Name:
Fading is the worldling's pleasure,
All his boasted pomp and show;
Solid joys and lasting treasure
None but Zion's children know.
Rev. John Newton, 1779
2 See, the streams of living waters.
Springing from eternal Love,
Well supply thy sons and daughters,
And all fear of want remove:
Who can faint, while such a river
Ever flows their thirst to assuage;
Grace which, like the Lord the Giver,
Never fails from age to age ?
3 Round each habitation hovering.
See the cloud and fire appear
For a glory and a covering,
Showing that the Lord is near:

Hear Thy peoyile as they pray;
And Thy fullest benediction
Shed within its walls alway.

What they ask of Thee to gain,
What they gain from Thee for ever
With the blessed to retain.

Evermore with Thee to reign.

2 One the light of God's own presence
O'er His ransomed people shed,
Chasing far the gloom and terror,
Brightening all the path we tread;
One the object of our journey,
One the faith w^hich never tires,
One the earnest looking forward.
One the hope our God inspires;
3 One the strain that lips of thousands
Lift as from the heart of one.
One the conflict, one the peril,
One the march in God begun;
One the gladness of rejoicing
On the far eternal shore,
Where the One Almighty Father
Reigns in love for evermore.
4 Onward, therefore, pilgrim brothers,
Onward, with the cross our aid;
Bear its shame, and fight its battle,
Till we rest beneath its shade:
Soon shall come the great awaking,
Soon the rending of the tomb;
Then the scattering of all shadows,
And the end of toil and gloom.

2 Elect from every nation,
Yet one o'er all the earth,
Her charter of salvation
One Lord, one faith, one birth;
One holy Name she blesses.
Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses.
With every grace endued.
3 Though with a scornful wonder
Men see her sore oppressed,
By schisms rent asunder.
By heresies distressed.
Yet saints their watch are keeping,
Their cry goes up, "How long?"
And soon the night of weeping
Shall be the morn of song.
ZLbc Cburcb
'Mid toil and tribulation,
And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace for evermore;
Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest.
Yet she on earth hath union
With God the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion
With those whose rest is won:
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we.
Like them the meek and lowly.
On high may dwell with Thee.

Peace in Thy Church, where brothers are engaging,

2 Our Sacrifice is one,
One Priest before the throne,
The slain, the risen Son,
Redeemer, Lord alone:
Thou who didst raise Him from the dead,
Unite Thy people in their Head.
3 O may that holy prayer,
His tenderest and His last,
His constant, latest care
(ST. STEPHEN) C. M.

1 Arise, 0 King of grace, arise.
And enter to Thy rest:
Lo! Thy Church waits withlonging eyes
Thus to be owned and blest.
2 Enter with all Thy glorious train,
Thy Spirit and Thy word;
All that the ark did once contain
Could no such grace afford.
3 Here, mighty God, accept our vows,
Here let Thy praise be spread;
Ere to His throne He passed,
No longer unfulfilled remain.
The world's offence. His people's stain!
4 Head of Thy Church beneath,
The catholic, the true,
On all her members breathe,
Her broken frame renew:
Then shall Thy perfect will be done.
When Christians love and live as one.
George Robinson, 1842: verse 2, lines s, 6, alt.
Bless the provisions of Thy house,
And fill Thy poor with bread.
: Here let the Son of David reign.
Let God's Anointed shine;
Justice and truth His court maintain.
With love and power Divine.
Here let Him hold a lasting throne;
And, as His kingdom grows.
Fresh honors shall adorn His crown.
And shame confound His foes.

2 When the world's sharp strife is nigh, 4 When the vows that they have made,
When they hear the battle-cry,
When they rush into the fight,
Knowing not temptation's might;
These Thy children, Lord, defend;
To their zeal Thy wisdom lend.
3 When their hearts are lifted high
With success or victory,
When they feci the conqueror's pride;
Lest they grow self-satisfied,
These Thy children. Lord, defend;
Teach their souls to Thee to bend.
When the prayers that they have prayed,
Shall be fading from their hearts;
When their first warm faith departs;
These Thy children, Lord, defend;
Keep them faithful to the end.
5 Through life's conflict guard us all,
Or if wounded some should fall
Ere the victory be won,
For the sake of Christ, Thy Son,
These Thy children, Lord, defend;
And in death Thy comfort lend.

1 How sweet and awful is the place
With Christ within the doors,
While everlasting love displays
The choicest of her stores.
2 While all our hearts and all our songs
Join to admire the feast,
Each of us cry, with thankful tongues,
"Lord, why was I a guest?
3 "Why was I made to hear Thy voice.
And enter wliile there's room.
When thousands make a wretched
choice.
And rather starve than come?"
4 'Twas the same love that spread the
feast
That sweetly forced us in;
Else we had still refused to taste,
And perished in our sin.
5 Pity the nations, O our God,
Constrain the earth to come;
Send Thy victorious word abroad,
And bring the strangers home.
6 We long to see Thy churches full.
That all the chosen race
May, with one voice and heart and soul,
Sing Thy redeeming grace.

2 Here would I feed upon the bread of God,
Here drink with Thee the royal wine of heaven;
Here would I lay aside each earthly load,
Here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven.
3 This is the hour of banquet and of song;
This is the heavenly table spread for me:
Here let me feast, and, feasting, still prolong
The brief, bright hour of fellowship with Thee.
4 I have no help but Thine, nor do I need
Another arm save Thine to lean upon:
It is enough, my Lord, enough indeed;
My strength is in Thy might, Thy might alone.
5 Mine is the sin, but Thine the righteousness;
Mine is the guilt, but Thine the cleansing blood;
Here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace,
Thy blood, Thy righteousness, O Lord my God.

2 I am not worthy to be thought Thy child,
Nor sit the last and lowest at Thy board;
Too long a wanderer and too oft beguiled,
I only ask one reconciling word.
3 One word from Thee, my Lord, one smile, one look,
And I could face the cold, rough world again;
And with that treasure in my heart could brook
The wrath of devils and the scorn of men.
4 I hear Thy voice; Thou bidd'st me come and rest;
I come, I kneel, I clasp Thy pierced feet;
Thou bidd'st me take my place, a welcome guest
Among Thy saints, and of Thy banquet eat.
5 My praise can only breathe itself in prayer.
My prayer can only lose itself in Thee';
Dwell Thou for ever in my heart, and there,
Lord, let me sup with Thee; sup Thou with me.

2 His body broken in our stead
Is here in this memorial bread,
And so our feeble love is fed
Until He come.
3 The streams of His dread agony,
His life-blood shed for us, we see;
The wine shall tell the mystery
Until He come.
4 And thus that dark betrayal night
With the last advent we unite
By one blest chain of loving rite
Until He come:
5 Until the trump of God be heard,
Until the ancient graves be stirred,
And, with the great commanding word,
The Lord shall come.

Let not our hearts be desolate.

Until He come.

2 Of all wonders that can thrill thee,
And with adoration fill thee,
What than this can greater be,
That Himself to thee He giveth?
He that eateth ever liveth,
For the Bread of Life is He.
3 Fill thy lips to overflowing
With sweet praise. His mercy showing
Who this heavenly table spread:
On this day so glad and holy,
To each longing spirit lowly
Giveth He the living Bread.

Whereon eyes of faith are able
Christ our Passover to trace:
Shadows of the law are going.

Night to day is giving place.

2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love 4 O Spirit of the Lord, prepare
To preach the reconciling word; All the round earth her God to meet;
Give power and unction from above, Breathe Thou abroad like morning air,
Whene'er the joyful sound is heard. Till hearts of stone begin to beat.
3 Be darkness, at Thy coming, light; 5 Baptize the nations; far and nigh
Confusion, order in Thy path; The triumphs of the cross record;
Souls without strength inspire with might; The Name of Jesus glorify,
Bid mercy triumph over wrath. Till every kindred call Him Lord.
6 God from eternity hath willed
All flesh shall His salvation see:
So be the Father's love fulfilled.
The Saviour's sufferings crowned through Thee.

Before our Father's throne
We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims, are one,
Our comforts and our cares.
We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear,
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
When we asunder part,
It gives us inward pain;
ST. GEORGE S. M.
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.
5 This glorious hope revives
Our courage by the way.
While each in expectation lives.
And longs to see the day.

And sin, we shall be free;
And perfect love and friendship reign

2 We are of Thee, the children of Thy love,
The brothers of Thy well-beloved Son;
Descend, O Holy Spirit, like a dove
Into our hearts, that we may be as one;
As one with Thee, to whom we ever tend,
As one with Him, our Brother and our Friend.
3 We would be one in hatred of all wrong,
One in our love of all things sweet and fair,
One with the joy that breaketh into song,
One with the grief that trembles into prayer.
One in the power that makes Thy children free
To follow truth, and thus to follow Thee.

4 O clothe us with Thy heavenly armor, Lord,
Thy trusty shield, Thy sword of love Divine:
Our inspiration be Thy constant word;
We ask no victories that are not Thine.
Give or withhold, let pain or pleasure be;
Enough to know that we are serving Thee.

O Christ, the Elder Brother
Of proud and beaten men,
When they have found each other,
Thy kingdom will come then.
4 Thy ransomed host in glory,
All souls that sin and pray.
Turn toward the cross that bore Thee;
"Behold the man!" they say:
And while Thy Church is pleading
For all who would do good,
We hear Thy true voice leading
Our song of brotherhood.

2 Who shares his life's pure pleasures.
And walks the honest road,
Who trades with heaping measures,
And lifts his brother's load,
Who turns the wrong down bluntly,
And lends the right a hand;
He dwells in God's own country.
He tills the Holy Land.
3 Where human lives are thronging
In toil and pain and sin.
While cloistered hearts are longing
To bring the kingdom in.

2 Man may trouble and distress me,
'Twill but drive me to Thy breast;
Life with trials hard may press me,
Heaven will bring me sweeter rest:
O 'tis not in grief to harm me
While Thy love is left to me;
O 'twere not in joy to charm me,
Were that joy unmixed with Thee.
3 Take, my soul, thy full salvation,
Rise o'er sin and fear and care;
Joy to find in every station
Something still to do or bear;

Think what Spirit dwells within thee,
What a Father's smile is thine,
What a Saviour died to win thee:
Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine ?
4 Haste then on from grace^to glory.
Armed by faith, and winged by prayer;
Heaven's eternal day's before thee,
God's own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close thy earthly mission;
Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days;
Hope soon change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

2 If you cannot cross the ocean,
And the heathen lands explore,
You can find the heathen nearer,
You can help them at your door.
If you cannot give your thousands.
You can give the widow's mite;
And the least you give for Jesus
Will be precious in His sight.
3 If you cannot speak like angels.
If you cannot preach like Paul,
You can tell the love of Jesus,
You can say He died for all.
If you cannot rouse the wicked
With the judgment's dread alarms,
You can lead the little children
To the Saviour's waiting arms.
4 Let none hear you idly saying,
"There is nothing I can do,"
While the souls of men are dying.
And the Master calls for you:
Take the task He gives you gladly,
Let His work your pleasure be;
Answer quickly when He calleth,
"Here am I; send me, send me."

And joy without a tear. And His dear Name repeat.

2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye
Could pierce beyond the grave,
Who saw his Master in the sky,
And called on Him to save:
Like Him, with pardon on his tongue
In midst of mortal pain,
He prayed for them that did the wrong :
Who follows in his train ?
3 A glorious band, the chosen few
On whom the Spirit came,
Twelve valiant saints, their hope they
knew,
And mocked the cross and flame:
They met the tyrant's brandished steel,
The lion's gory mane;
They bowed their necks the death to
feel:
Who follows in their train ?
4 A noble army, men and boys.
The matron and the maid.
Around the Saviour's throne rejoice,
In robes of light arrayed:
They cHmbed the steep ascent of heaven
Through peril, toil, and pain:
O God, to us may grace be given
To follow in their train.

2 Lead on, O King Eternal,
Till sin's fierce war shall cease,
And Holiness shall whisper
The sweet Amen of peace;
For not with swords loud clashing,
Nor roll of stirring drums,
But deeds of love and mercy,
The heavenly kingdom comes.
3 Lead on, O King Eternal:
We follow, not with fears;
For gladness breaks like morning
Where'er Thy face appears;
Thy cross is lifted o'er us;
We journey in its light:

2 0 Christian brothers, glorious
Shall be the conflict's close;
The cross hath been victorious,
And shall be o'er its foes:
Faith is our battle- token;
Our Leader all controls;
Our trophies, fetters broken;
Our captives, ransomed souls,
3 Not unto us, Lord Jesus,
To Thee all praise be due,
Whose blood-bought mercy frees us,
Has freed our brethren too.
Not unto us: in glory
The angels catch the strain,
And cast their crowns before Thee

Still on in conflict pressing
On Thee Thy people call,

Perish all that fears the light!
Whether losing, whether winning,
Trust in God, and do the right.
Trust no party, sect, or faction;
Trust no leaders in the fight;
But in every word and action
Trust in God, and do the right.
3 Trust no lovely forms of passion, —
Fiends may look like angels bright;
Trust no custom, school, or fashion:
Trust in God, and do the right.
Simple rule, and safest guiding,
Inward peace, and inward might,
Star upon our path abiding, —
"Trust in God, and do the right."

Some will flatter, some will slight;
Cease from man, and look above thee:
Trust in God, and do the right.

Thy earthly loss is heavenly gain; The world's dark night is hastening on.
Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not; Speed, speed thy work, cast sloth away;
The Master praises: — what are men? It is not thus that souls are won.
3 Go, labor on: enough while here
If He shall praise thee, if He deign
• Thy willing heart to mark and cheer;
No toil for Him shall be in vain.
5 Toil on, faint not, keep watch and pray:
Be wise the erring soul to win;
Go forth into the world's highway.
Compel the wanderer to come in.

For toil comes rest, for exile home;
Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's voice,
The midnight peal, "Behold, I come."

Each other's load to share.
3 O happiest work below.
Earnest of joy above,
To sweeten many a cup of woe
By deeds of holy love!
4 Lord, may it be our choice
This blessed rule to keep,
" Rejoice with them that do rejoice.
And weep with them that weep."
5 O praise our God to-day,
His constant mercy bless,
Whose love hath helped us on our way,
And granted us success.

2 0 joy, to see that Master dear !
0 joy, to live with Him so near!
O joy, that gentle voice to hear!
3 O more than joy, to that dear Lord,
In purest, deepest love adored.
All lowly service to afford!
4 Yea, happy was your lot to bring,
In loyal homage to your King,
Each free and gracious offering.
5 0 Jesus, throned above the height,
Adoring troops of angels bright
Wait on Thy bidding day and night:
6 Thy sacred form we cannot see.
Yet, Lord, these hands may render Thee
Each lowly act of charity.
7 For while 'mid want and woe we move,
And tend Thy poor in gentle love,
We minister to Thee above.
8 O gracious Jesus, we confess
Our poor cold love, our nothingness:
Yet Thou wilt own, and Thou wilt bless.
Bishop \V. Walsham How, 1867
386 (ELMHURST) 8.8.8.6.
1 O God of mercy, God of might,
In love and pity infinite,
Teach us, as ever in Thy sight,
To live our hfe to Thee.
2 And Thou who cam'st on earth to die,
That fallen man might live thereby,
O hear us, for to Thee we cry
In hope, 0 Lord, to Thee.
4 For all are brethren, far and wide.
Since Thou, O Lord, for all hast died;
Then teach us, whatsoe'er betide,
To love them all in Thee.
5 In sickness, sorrow, want, or care,
Whate'er it be, 'tis ours to share;
May we, when help is needed, there
Give help as unto Thee.
3 Teach us the lesson Thou hast taught, 6 And may Thy Holy Spirit move
To feel for those Thy blood hath bought; All those who live, to live in love.
That every word and deed and thought Till Thou shalt greet in heaven above
May work a work for Thee. All those who live to Thee.

The world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
The tempting sounds I hear:
My foes are ever near me,
Around me and within;
But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer.
And shield my soul from sin.
3 O let me hear Thee speaking
In accents clear and still,
Above the storms of passion.
The murmurs of self-will:
O speak to re-assure me,
To hasten or control;
O speak, and make me listen,
Thou Guardian of my soul.

To all who follow Thee
That where Thou art in glory
There shall Thy servant be;

Doing all we can,

Wilt give large increase,
Crown the head with blessings,
Fill the heart with peace.

Gladly let us go;

2 For Him shall endless prayer be made, 4 Blessings abound where'er He reigns;
And praises throng to crown His head; The prisoner leaps to lose his chains,
His Name, like sweet perfume, shall rise The weary find eternal rest.
With every morning sacrifice; And all the sons of want are blest.
3 People and realms of every tongue 5 Let every creature rise and bring
Dwell on His love with sweetest song; Peculiar honors to our King,
And infant voices shall proclaim Angels descend with songs again.
Their early blessings on His Name. And earth repeat the loud Amen.

1 Soon may the last glad song arise
Through all the millions of the
skies,
That song of triumph which records
That all the earth is now the Lord's.
2 Let thrones and powers and kingdoms
be
Obedient, mighty God, to Thee;
And over land and stream and main
Wave Thou the sceptre of Thy reign.
3 O that the anthem now might swell,
And host to host the triumph tell.
That not one rebel heart remains,
But over all the Saviour reigns!

2 Hark, hark, the trump of Jubilee
Proclaims to every nation,
From pole to pole, by land and sea,
Glad tidings of salvation:
As nearer draws the day of doom,
While still the battle rages,
The heavenly Day-spring through the
gloom
Breaks on the night of ages.
3 Still on and on the anthems spread
Of Alleluia voices,
In concert with the holy dead
The warrior Church rejoices;
Their snow-white robes are washed in
blood,
Their golden harps are ringing;
Earth and the Paradise of God
One triumph-song are singing.
■i He comes, whose advent trumpet drowns
The last of time's evangels,
Emmanuel crowned with many crowns,
The Lord of saints and angels:
O Life, Light, Love, the great I AM,
Triune, who changest never,
The throne of God and of the Lamb
Is Thine, and Thine for ever.

2 Shall Jew and Gentile meeting
From many a distant shore,
Around one altar kneeling,
One common Lord adore?
Shall all that now divides us
Remove, and pass away
Like shadows of the morning
Before the blaze of day?
3 Shall all that now unites us
More sweet and lasting prove,
A closer bond of union
In a blest land of love?
Shall war be learned no longer?
Shall strife and tumult cease?
All earth His blessed kingdom,
The Lord and Prince of Peace!
4 O long-expected dawning,
Come with thy cheering ray;
When shall the morning brighten,
The shadows flee away?
O sweet anticipation!
It cheers the watchers on
To pray, and hope, and labor,
Till the dark night be gone.

1 Our country's voice is pleading,
Ye men of God, arise!
His providence is leading.
The land before you lies;
Day-gleams are o'er it brightening.
And promise clothes the soil;
Wide fields, for harvest whitening.
Invite the reaper's toil.
Blest river of salvation.
Pursue thy onward way;
Flow thou to every nation.
Nor in thy richness stay:
Stay not till all the lowly
Triumphant reach their home;
Stay not till all the holy
Proclaim, "The Lord is come."

The love of Christ unfolding.

And may we know. Lord Jesus,

And, healed of our diseases,

2 What though the spicy breezes
Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle;
Though every prospect pleases,
And only man is vile:
In vain with lavish kindness
The gifts of God are strown;
The heathen in his blindness
Bows down to wood and stone.
3 Can we, whose souls are lighted
With wisdom from on high,
Can we to men benighted
The lamp of life deny?
:p
Salvation! O salvation!
The joyful sound proclaim,
Till each remotest nation
Has learned Messiah's Name.
4 Waft, waft, ye winds. His story,
And you, ye waters, roll,
Till like a sea of glory
It spreads from pole to pole;
Till o'er our ransomed nature
The Lamb for sinners slain,
Redeemer, King, Creator,
In bliss returns to reign.

2 Hosts of the Lord, go forth; 3 Come, as of old, like fire;
Go, strong in the power of His rest, O Force of the Lord, descend,
Till the South be at one with the North, Till with love of the world's Desire
And peace upon East and West;
Till the far-of! lands shall thrill
With the gladness of God's "Good will,"
Hosts of the Lord, go forth.

2 He shall come down like showers
Upon the fruitful earth;
And love, joy, hope, like flowers,
Spring in His path to birth;
Before Him on the mountains
Shall peace, the herald, go,
And righteousness, in fountains,
From hill to valley flow.
3 Kings shall fall down before Him,
And gold and incense bring;
All nations shall adore Him,
His praise all people sing;
For Him shall prayer unceasing
And daily vows ascend;
His kingdom still increasing,
A kingdom without end.
4 O'er every foe victorious,
He on His throne shall rest.
From age to age more glorious,
All blessing and all-blest:
The tide of time shall never
His covenant remove,
His Name shall stand for ever, —
That Name to us is Love.

Steals into every heart,
And glorifies with duty
Life's poorest, humblest part;
Thou robest in Thy splendor
The simple ways of men,
And helpest them to render
Light back to Thee again.
3 Light of the world, before Thee
Our spirits prostrate fall ;
We worship, we adore Thee,
Thou Light, the Life of all;
With Thee is no forgetting
Of all Thine hand hath made;
Thy rising hath no setting,
Thy sunshine hath no shade.
4 Light of the world, illumine
This darkened land of Thine,
Till everything that's human
Be filled with what's Divine;
Till every tongue and nation,
From sin's dominion free.
Rise in the new creation
Which springs from Love and Thee.

When He shall reign from pole to pole,
The Lord of every human soul :
When all shall heed the words He said
Amid their daily cares.
And by the loving life He led
Shall seek to pattern theirs;
And He who conquered death shall win
The mightier conquest over sin.

Long by the prophets of Israel foretold!
Hail to the millions from bondage returning!

3 Lo, in the desert rich flowers are springing,
Streams ever copious are gliding along;
Loud from the mountain-tops echoes are ringing,
Wastes rise in verdure, and mingle in song.
4 See, from all lands, from the isles of the ocean,
Praise to Jehovah ascending on high;
Fallen are the engines of war and commotion.
Shouts of salvation are rending the sky.

3 Then shall wars and tumults cease,
Then be banished grief and pain ;

Heathen tribes His Name adore; Ever praise His glorious Name;
Satan and his host o'erthrown, All His mighty acts record;
Bound in chains, shall hurt no more. All His wondrous love proclaim.

2 A holy war those servants wage;
Mysteriously at strife,
The powers of heaven and hell engage
For more than death or life.
Ye armies of the living God,
His sacramental host,
Where hallowed footsteps never trod
Take your appointed post:
3 Though few and small and weak your
bands.
Strong in your Captain's strength
Go to the conquest of all lands;
All must be His at length.
Those spoils at His victorious feet
You shall rejoice to lay,
And lay yourselves, as trophies meet,
In His great judgment-day.
4 O fear not, faint not, halt not now;
In Jesus' Name be strong;
To Him shall all the nations bow,
And sing with you this song:
"Uplifted are the gates of brass,
The bars of iron yield;
Behold the King of Glory pass;
The cross hath won the field."

Revive our longing eyes,
Which languish for Thy sight.
2 Where is Thy reign of peace,

When shall all hatred cease.
As in the realms above?
3 When comes the promised time
That war shall be no more,
And lust, oppression, crime.
Shall flee Thy face before?

2 Alleluia thou resoundest,
Salem, Mother ever blest;
Alleluias without ending
Fit yon place of gladsome rest;
Exiles we, by Babel's waters,
Sit in bondage and distressed.
3 Alleluia! songs of gladness
Suit not always souls forlorn:
Alleluia I soimds of sadness
Anon. (Latin, nth cent
verse 4, line 3, alt.;
418 (ST. AGNES) CM.
1 Happy the souls to Jesus joined,
And saved by grace alone;
Walking in all Thy ways, we find
Our heaven on earth begun.
2 The Church triumphant in Thy love.
Their mighty joys we know;
They sing the Lamb in hymns above,
And we in hymns below.
Midst our joyful strains are borne;
For in this dark world of sorrow
We with tears our sins must mourn.
4 Trinity of endless glory,
Hear Thy people as they cry;
Grant us all our heart's deep longing
In our home beyond the sky;
There to Thee our Alleluia
Singing everlastingly.
.). Verses i, 2, 4, trans, by Rev. John M. Neale, 1851:
; verse 3 trans, in Cooke and Denton's "Hymnal, "1853
3 Thee in Thy glorious realm they praise,
And bow before Thy throne,
We in the kingdom of Thy grace;
The kingdoms are but one.
4 The holy to the holiest leads;
From hence our spirits rise;
And he that in Thy statutes treads
Shall meet Thee in the skies.

1 Blessed are the sons of God,
They are bought with Christ's own blood
They are ransomed from the grave.
Life eternal they shall have:
With them numbered may we be,
Here and in eternity.
2 They are justified by grace.
They enjoy the Saviour's peace;
All their sins are washed away.
Rev.
3 Then praise we God the Father,
And praise we God the Son,
And God the Holy Spirit,
Eternal Three in One;
Till all the ransomed number
Fall down before the Throne,
And honor, power, and glory
Ascribe to God alone.
Horatio, Earl Nelson, 1863
They shall stand in God's great day:
With them numbered may we be,
Here and in eternity.
3 They are lights upon the earth,
Children of a heavenly birth;
One with God, with Jesus one,
Glory is in them begun:
With them numbered may we be,
Here and in eternity.

2 One family we dwell in Him,
One Church, above, beneath,
Though now divided by the stream,
The narrow stream of death;
One army of the living God,
To His command we bow;
Part of His host hath crossed the flood,
And part is crossing now.
3 His militant, embodied host,
With wishful looks we stand,
And long to see that happy coast,
And reach that heavenly land:

E'en now by faith we join our hands
With those that went before,
And greet the blood-besprinkled bands
On the eternal shore.
Our spirits too shall quickly join,
Like theirs with glory crowned.
And shout to see our Captain's sign.
To hear His trumpet sound:
O that we now might grasp our Guide !
O that the word were given!
Come, Lord of hosts, the waves divide,
And land us all in heaven.

2 The fire Divine their steps that led
Still goeth bright before us.
The heavenly shield, around them spread,
Is still high holden o'er us;
The grace those sinners that subdued, "
The strength those weaklings that renewed,
Doth vanquish, doth restore us.
3 Their joy unto their Lord we bring,
Their song to us descendeth;
The Spirit who in them did sing
To us His music lendeth:
His song in them, in us, is one;
We raise it high, we send it on, —
The song that never endeth.
Ye saints to come, take up the strain,
The same sweet theme endeavor;
Unbroken be the golden chain!
Keep on the song for ever!
Safe in the same dear dwelling-place,
Rich with the same eternal grace,
Bless the same boundless Gi\'er.

Thou, Lord, their Captain in the well-fought fight;

2 Who are these of dazzling brightness, 4 These are they whose hearts were riven,
These in God's own truth arrayed, Sore with woe and anguish tried,
Clad in robes of purest whiteness. Who in prayer full oft have striven
Robes whose lustre ne'er shall fade, With the God they glorified;
Ne'er be touched by time's rude hand? Now, their painful conflict o'er.
Whence come all this glorious band? God has bid them weep no more.
3 These are they who have contended 5 These like priests have watched and
For their Saviour's honor long, waited,
Wrestling on till life was ended, Off ei ing up to Christ their will;
Following not the sinful throng; Soul and body consecrated,
These, who well the fight sustained, Day and night to serve Him still :
Triumph through the Lamb have Now in God's most holy place
gained. Blest they stand before His face.

2 Never flinched they from the flame,
From the torture never;
Vain the foeman's sharpest aim,
Satan's best endeavor:
For by faith they saw the land
Decked in all its glory,
Where triumphant now they stand
With the victor's story.
3 Faith they had that knew not shame
Love that could not languish;
And eternal hope o'ercame
Momentary anguish.
Arr. and
He Who trod the self-same road.
Death and hell defeated;
Wherefore these their passions showed
Calvary repeated.
4 Up and follow, Christian men!
Press through toil and sorrow;
Spurn the night of fear, and then,
O the glorious morrow!
Who will venture on the strife?
Who will first begin it?
Who will seize the land of life?
Warriors, up and win it!

2 They have come from tribulation,
And have washed their robes in blood
Washed them in the blood of Jesus;
Tried they were, and firm they stood;
Mocked, imprisoned, stoned, tormented,
Sawn asunder, slain with sword.
They have conquered death and Satan
By the might of Christ the Lord.
3 Marching with Thy cross their banner,
They have triumphed, following
Thee the Captain of salvation,
Thee their Saviour and their King;
Gladly, Lord, with Thee they suffered,
, Gladly, Lord, with Thee they died,
And by death to life immortal
They were born and glorified.
4 Now they reign in heavenly glory,
Now they walk in golden light,
Now they drink, as from a river,
Holy bliss and infinite;
Love and peace they taste for ever,
And all truth and knowledge see
In the beatific vision
Of the blessed Trinity.

2 Once they were mourning here below,
And wet their couch with tears;
They wrestled hard, as we do now,
With sins, and doubts, and fears.
3 I ask them whence their victory came;
They, with united breath.
Ascribe their conquest to the Lamb,
Their triumph to His death.
4 They marked the footsteps that He trod,
His zeal inspired their breast ;
And, following their incarnate God,
Possess the promised rest.

For His own pattern given,
While the long cloud of witnesses
Show the same path to heaven.

1 O what, if we are Christ's, 4 Lord, may that grace be ours,
Is earthly shame or loss? Like them in faith to bear
Bright shall the crown of glory be All that of sorrow, grief, or pain,
When we have borne the cross. May be our portion here.
2 Keen was the trial once, 5 Enough, if Thou at last
Bitter the cup of woe. The word of blessing give.
When martyred saints, baptized in blood, And let us rest beneath Thy feet,
Christ's sufferings shared below. Where saints and angels live.
3 Bright is their glory now.
Boundless their joy above.
Where, on the bosom of their God,
They rest in perfect love.
6 All glory, Lord, to Thee,
Whom heaven and earth adore.
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
One God for evermore.

2 Which of all our friends, to save us, 4 Could we bear from one another
Could or would have shed their blood?
But our Jesus died to have us
Reconciled in Him to God .
This was boundless love indeed;
Jesus is a Friend in need.
What He daily bears from us?
Yet this glorious Friend and Brother
Loves us though we treat Him thus:
Though for good we render ill,
He accounts us brethren still.
3 When He lived on earth abased,
"Friend of sinners" was His name;
Now above all glory raised,
He rejoices in the same;
Still He calls them brethren,
friends,
And to all their wants attends.

2 "Come unto Me, dear children,
And I will give you light."
O loving voice of Jesus
Which comes to cheer the night!
Our hearts were filled with sadness,
And we had lost our way;
But morning brings us gladness,
And songs the break of day.
3 "Come unto Me, ye fainting,
And I will give you life."
O peaceful voice of Jesus
Which comes to end our strife!
The foe is stern and eager.
The fight is fierce and long;
But Thou hast made us mighty,
And stronger than the strong.
4 "And whosoever cometh
I will not cast him out."
O patient love of Jesus
Which drives away our doubt;
Which calls us, very sinners.
Unworthy though we be
Of love so free and boundless.
To come, dear Lord, to Thee!

2 0 Jesus, Thou art knocking;
And lo, that hand is scarred,
And thorns Thy brow encircle,
And tears Thy face have marred:
0 love that passeth knowledge,
So patiently to wait!
O sin that hath no equal,
So fast to bar the gate!
3 O Jesus, Thou art pleading
In accents meek and low,
"I died for you, My children,
And will ye treat Me so?"
O Lord, with shame and sorrow
We open now the door;

2 There's a wideness in God's mercy,
Like the wideness of the sea;
There's a kindness in His justice,
Which is more than Hberty.
There is welcome for the sinner,
And more graces for the good;
There is mercy with the Saviour,
There is heaUng in His blood:
3 For the love of God is broader
Than the measures of man's mind,
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind:
But we make His love too narrow
By false limits of our own.
And we magnify His strictness
With a zeal He will not own.
4 There is plentiful redemption
In the blood that has been shed;
There is joy for all the members
In the sorrows of the Head.
If our love were but more simple,
We should take Him at His word;
And our lives would be all sunshine
In the sweetness of our Lord.

2 Joy of the comfortless, light of the straying,
Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure!
Here speaks the Comforter, in mercy saying,
"Earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot cure."
3 Here see the Bread of Life; see waters flowing
Forth from the throne of God, pure from above:
Come to the feast prepared; come, ever knowing
Earth has no sorrows but heaven can remove.

1 Not all the blood of beasts
On Jewish altars slain.
Could give the guilty conscience peace,
Or wash away the stain:
2 But Christ, the heavenly Lamb
Takes all our sins away,
A sacrifice of nobler name
And richer blood than they.
3 My faith would lay her hand
On that dear head of Thine,
While like a penitent I stand,
And there confess my sin.
4 My soul looks back to see
The burdens Thou didst bear,
When hanging on the cursed tree,
And hopes her guilt was there.
5 Believing, we rejoice
To see the curse remove;
We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice,
And sing His bleeding love.

When all was sin and shame,
A second Adam to the fight
And to the rescue came.
3 O wisest love! that flesh and blood,
Which did in Adam fail,
Should strive afresh against their foe.
Should strive and should prevail ;

Should flesh and blood refine,

Lord Je - sus, v/as our por - tion Thine, And is Thy por-tion ours
2 Emmanuel, didst Thou take our place
To sei us in Thine own?
Didst Thou our low estate embrace
To lift us to Thy throne?
3 Didst Thou fulfil each righteous deed,
God's perfect will express.
That we the unfaithful ones might plead
Thy perfect faithfulness?
4 On Thy pure soul did dread and gloom
In that drear garden rise?
Are ours the brightness and the bloom
Of Th ne own Paradise?
5 For Thee the Father's hidden face?
For Thee the bitter cry?
For us the Fa her's endless grace,
The song of victory?
6 Our load of sin and misery
Didst Thou the Sinless bear?
Thy spotless robe of purity
Do we the sinners wear?
7 Lord Jesus, is it even so?
Have we been loved thus?
What love can we on Thee bestow
Who hast exchanged with us?

Dwell in our very heart:

1 There is a fountain filled with blood 3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Drawn from Emmanuel's veins; Shall never lose its power
And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, Till all the ransomed Church of God
Lose all their guilty stains. Be saved, to sin no more.
4 E'er since by faith I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply.
Redeeming love has been my theme.
And shall be till I die.
2 The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there have I, as vile as he,
Washed all my sins away.

Long years were spent for me;
Have I spent one for Thee?

His brightest form of glory shines; In sounds to mortal ears unknown

2 Create my nature pure within, 4 A broken heart, my God, my King,
And form my soul averse to sin; Is all the sacrifice I bring;
Let Thy good Spirit ne'er depart. The God of grace will ne'er despise
Nor hide Thy presence from my heart. A broken heart for sacrifice.
3 I cannot Hve without Thy light, 5 My soul lies humbled in the dust,
Cast out and banished from Thy sight; And owns Thy dreadful sentence just;
Thy holy joys, my God, restore, Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye,
And guard me, that I fall no more. And save the soul condemned to die.
6 Then will I teach the world Thy ways;
Sinners shall learn Thy sovereign grace;
I'll lead them to my Saviour's blood,
And they shall praise a pardoning God.

Lord, I confess to Thee
Sadly my sin;
All I am tell I Thee,
All I have been:
Purge Thou my sin away,
Wash Thou my soul this day;
Lord, make me clean.
Faithful and just art Thou,
Forgiving all;
Loving and kind art Thou
When poor ones call:
r
Lord, let the cleansing blood,
Blood of the Lamb of God,
Pass o'er my soul.
Then all is peace and light
This soul within;
Thus shall I walk with Thee,
The loved Unseen;
Leaning on Thee, my God,
Guided along the road,
Nothing between.

(ST. LUKE) L. M.
With broken heart and contrite sigh,
A trembling sinner, Lord, I cry;
Thy pardoning grace is rich and free: 4
0 God, be merciful to me.
1 smite upon my troubled breast,
With deep and conscious guilt oppressed,
Christ and His cross my only plea: 5
O God, be merciful to me.
Far off I stand with tearful eyes.
Nor dare uplift them to the skies;
But Thou dost all my anguish see:
O God, be merciful to me.
Nor alms, nor deeds that I have done,
Can for a single sin atone;
To Calvary alone I flee:
O God, be merciful to me.
And when, redeemed from sin and hell.
With all the ransomed throng I dwell,
My raptured song shall ever be,
"God has been merciful to me."

2 Fruitless years with grief recalling,
Humbly I confess my sin;
At Thy feet, O Father, falling,
To Thy household take me in.
Freely now to Thee I proffer
This relenting heart of mine;
Freely life and soul I offer,
Gift unworthy love like Thine.
3 Once the world's Redeemer, dying,
Bore our sins upon the tree;
On that sacrifice relying,
Now I look in hope to Thee:
Father, take me; all forgiving.
Fold me to Thy loving breast;
In Thy love for ever living
I must be for ever blest.

2 His voice commands the tempest forth, 4 Our hearts, if God we seek to know,
And stills the stormy wave; Shall know Him, and rejoice;
And, though His arm be strong to smite. His coming like the morn shall be,
'Tis also strong to save. Like morning songs His voice.
3 Long hath the night of sorrow reigned; 5 As dew upon the tender herb.
The dawn shall bring us light: Diffusing fragrance round,
God shall appear, and we shall rise As showers that usher in the spring.
With gladness in His sight. And cheer the thirsty ground;
6 So shall His presence bless our souls,
And shed a joyful light;
That hallowed morn shall chase away
The sorrows of the night.

1 Lord, Thy mercy now entreating.
Low before Thy throne we fall;
Our misdeeds to Thee confessing,
On Thy Name we humbly call.
2 Sinful thoughts and words unloving
Rise against us one by one;
Acts unworthy, deeds unthinking,
Good that we have left undone.
3 Hearts that far from Thee were
straying.
While in prayer we bowed the knee;
Lips that, while Thy praises sounding,
Lifted not the soul to Thee;
4 Precious moments .dly wasted.
Precious hours in folly spent;
Christian vow and light unheeded;
Scarce a thought to wisdom lent.
5 Lord, Thy mercy still entreating,
We with shame our sins would own;
From henceforth, the time redeeming,
May we live to Thee alone.
6 Heavenly Father, bless Thy children;
Hearken from Thy throne on high;
Loving Saviour, Holy Spirit,
Hear and heed our humble cry.

Kneeling lowly at the door,

2 So vile I am, how dare I hope to stand
In the pure glory of that holy land?
Before the whiteness of that throne appear?
Yet there are hands stretched out to draw me near.
3 The while I fain would tread the heavenly way,
Evil is ever with me day by day;
Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall,
"Repent, confess, thou shaft be loosed from all."
4 It is the voice of Jesus that I hear;
His are the hands stretched out to draw me near,
And His the blood that can for all atone.
And set me faultless there before the throne.
5 O great Absolver, grant my soul may wear
The lowliest garb of penitence and prayer.
That in the Father's courts my glorious dress
May be the garment of Thy righteousness.
6 Yea, Thou wilt answer for me, righteous Lord;
Thine all the merits, mine the great reward;
Thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown;
Mine the life won, and Thine the life laid down.

2 We have not feared Thee as we ought, 4 We have not served Thee as we
Nor bowed beneath Thine awful eye, ought;
Nor guarded deed, and word, and Alas! the duties left undone,
thought. The work with little fervor wrought,
Remembering that God was nigh. The battles lost, or scarcely won!
Lord, give us faith to know Thee near. Lord, give the zeal, and give the might.
And grant the grace of holy fear. For Thee to toil, for Thee to fight.
3 We have not loved Thee as we ought,
Nor cared that we are loved by Thee;
Thy presence we have coldly sought,
And feebly longed Thy face to see.
Lord, give a pure and loving heart
To feel and own the love Thou art.
5 When shall we know Thee as we ought,
And fear, and love, and serve aright!
When shall we, out of trial brought,
Be perfect in the land of light!
Lord, may we day by day prepare
To see Thy face, and serve Thee there.

2 My sins, my sins, my Saviour!
How sad on Thee they fall;
Seen through Thy gentle patience,
I tenfold feel them all ;
I know they are forgiven,
But still, their pain to me
Is all the grief and anguish
They laid, my Lord, on Thee.
3 My sins, my sins, my Saviour!
Their guilt I never knew
Till with Thee in the desert
I near Thy passion drew ;
Till with Thee in the garden
I heard Thy pleading prayer,
And saw the sweat-drops bloody
That told Thy sorrow there.
4 Therefore my songs, my Saviour,
E'en in this time of woe,
Shall tell of all Thy goodness
To suffering man below;
Thy goodness and Thy favor,
Whose presence from above
Rejoice those hearts, my Saviour,
That live in Thee and love.

2 Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfil Thy law's demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears for ever flow,
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and Thou alone.

Simply to Thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress,
Helpless, look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the fountain fly;

When my eyelids close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne.

2 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Behold, I freely give
The living water; thirsty one.
Stoop down and drink, and live."
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in Him.
3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"I am this dark world's Light;
Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise,
And all thy day be bright."
I looked to Jesus, and I found
In Him my Star, my Sun;
And in that light of life I'll walk.
Till travelling days are done.

2 Upon the cross of Jesus
Mine eye at times can see
The very dying form of One
Who suffered there for me:
And from my stricken heart with tears
Two wonders I confess, —
The wonders of redeeming love
And my own worthlessness.
I take, O cross, thy shadow
For my abiding-place:
I ask no other sunshine than
The sunshine of His face;
Content to let the world go by,
To know no gain nor loss;
My sinful self my only shame,
My glory all, the cross.

2 I lay my wants on Jesus;
All fulness dwells in Him;
He heals all my diseases,
He doth my soul redeem:
I lay my griefs on Jesus,
My burdens and my cares;
He from them all releases,
He all my sorrows shares.
3 I rest my soul on Jesus,
This weary soul of mine;
His right hand me embraces,
I on His breast recline.

I love the Name of Jesus,
Emmanuel, Christ, the Lord;
Like fragrance on the breezes
His Name abroad is poured.

Meek, loving, lowly, mild;
I long to be like Jesus,
The Father's holy Child:
I long to be with Jesus
Amid the heavenly throng.
To sing with saints His praises,
To learn the angels' song.

Reach me out Thy gracious hand!

Hoping against hope I stand,
Dying, and behold I live!

More than all in Thee I find:

False and full of sin I am,
Thou art full of truth and grace.
5 Plenteous grace with Thee is found,
Grace to cover all my sin;
Let the healing streams abound;
Make and keep me pure within.

1 Am I a soldier of the cross,
A follower of the Lamb,
And shall I fear to own His cause,
Or blush to speak His Name?

On flowery beds of ease.
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed through bloody seas?

Increase my courage, Lord;

Which shall new lustre boast.

Have I my race begun;
And, crowned with victory, at Thy feet
I'll lay my honors down.

I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy word.
4 Thy saints, in all this glorious war,
Shall conquer, though they die;
They view the triumph from afar.
And seize it with their eye.
5 When that illustrious day shall rise,
And all Thy armies shine
In robes of victory through the skies,
The glory shall be Thine.

2 With its witching pleasures
Would this vain world charm,
Or its sordid treasures
Spread to work me harm,
Bring to my remembrance
Sad Gethsemane,
Or, in darker semblance.
Cross-crowned Calvary.
3 If with sore affliction
Thou in love chastise.
Pour Thy benediction
On the sacrifice;
Then, upon Thine altar
Freely offered up.
Though the flesh may falter,
Faith shall drink the cup,
4 When in dust and ashes
To the grave I sink,
While heaven's glory flashes
O'er the shelving brink,
On Thy truth relying
Through that mortal strife.

To eternal life.

2 In the midst of sin and strife,
In the depths of mortal woe,
Teach us, Lord, to live a life
Meet for sojourners below.
Though the road be oft-times dark,
Though the feet in weakness stray,
Lead us. Saviour, as the ark
Led Thy chosen on their way.
3 Weak and weary and alone
When the vale of death we tread,
Then be all Thy mercy shown.
Then be all Thy love displayed;
Guard us in that darksome hour.
Lead us to the land of rest.
Where, secure from Satan's power,
We may lie upon Thy breast.

From the hardening power of sin,
From all malice and unkindness.
From the pride that lurks within,

In the day of Satan's power,
In our times of deep distresses.
In each dark and trying hour.

In the time of wealth and ease.
Earthly joys our hearts beguiling,
In the day of health and peace,

5 In our weary hours of sickness.
In our times of grief and pain.
When we feel our mortal weakness.
When the creature's help is vain,

In the awful judgment day.

Hung the issue of the day;

2 I dimly guess, from blessings known,
Of greater out of sight;
And, with the chastened Psalmist, own
His judgments too are right.
And if my heart and flesh are weak
To bear an untried pain, 4
The bruised reed He will not break,
But strengthen and sustain.
3 I know not what the future hath
Of marvel or surprise,
Assured alone that life and death
His mercy underlies.
And so beside the silent sea
I wait the muffled oar:
No harm from Him can come to me
On ocean or on shore.
I know not where His islands lift
Their fronded palms in air;
I only know I cannot drift
Beyond His love and care.
And Thou, O Lord, by whom are seen
Thy creatures as they be.
Forgive me if too close I lean
My human heart on Thee.

Since Thou on earth hast wept,
And sorrowed oft alone,

S12 DOMINUS REGIT ME 8.7.8.7.
Rev. John B. Dykes, 1868
2 Where streams of living water flow
My ransomed soul He leadeth,
And, where the verdant pastures grow,
With food celestial feedeth.
3 Perverse and foolish oft I strayed,
But yet in love He sought me.
And on his shoulder gently laid.
And home, rejoicing, brought me.
4 In death's dark vale I fear no ill
With Thee, dear Lord, beside me;
513
Thy rod and staff my comfort still,
Thy cross before to guide me.
5 Thou spread'st a table in my sight;
Thy unction grace bestoweth;
And O what transport of delight
From Thy pure chalice floweth.
6 And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never:
Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise
Within Thy house for ever.
Psalm xxiii. Rev. Sir Henry W. Baker, Bart., 1868
(QUEBEC) L. M.
1 0 Love Divine, that stooped to share
Our sharpest pang, our bitterest tear,
On Thee we cast each earth-born care;
We smile at pain while Thou art near.
2 Though long the weary way we tread.
And sorrow crown each lingering year.
No path we shun, no darkness dread.
Our hearts still whispering, Thou art near.
3 When drooping pleasure turns to grief.
And trembling faith is changed to fear.
The murmuring wind, the quivering leaf.
Shall softly tell us, Thou art near.
4 On Thee we fling our burdening woe,
O Love Divine, for ever dear;
Content to suffer while we know.
Living and dying, Thou art near.

The heavier for our bitterness.

In cheerful hope, with heart content
To take whate'er thy Father's pleasure
And all-deserving love hath sent;
Nor doubt our inmost wants are known
To Him who chose us for His own.
Georg Neumark
All are alike before the Highest;
'Tis easy to our God, we know,
To raise thee up though low thou liest,
To make the rich man poor and low;
True wonders still by Him are wrought
Who setteth up and brings to naught.
Sing, pray, and keep His ways unswerv-
ing,
So do thine own part faithfully,
And trust His word, — though unde-
serving,
Thou yet shalt find it true for thee;
God never yet forsook at need
The soul that trusted Him indeed.

In the depth of midnight blasting,

Watch and ward o'er thee to keep;
Though thou walk through hostile regions
Though in desert wilds thou sleep.

Of never-failing skill
He treasures up His bright designs.
And works His sovereign will.
4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense.
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.
5 His purposes will ripen fast.
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste.
But sweet will be the flower.
3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take; 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err,
The clouds ye so much dread And scan His work in vain;

In blessings on your head. And He will make it plain.

Thy friendly crook shall give me aid.
And guide me through the dreadful
shade.
Though in a bare and rugged way,
Through devious lonely wilds I stray,
Thy bounty shall my pains beguile;
The barren wilderness shall smile,
With sudden greens and herbage
crowned,
And streams shall murmur all around.
Psalm xxiii. Joseph Addison, 1712
Days of trial, days of grie.,
In succession thou mayst see;
This is still thy sweet relief:
"As thy days thy strength shall be."
Rock of Ages, I'm secure.
With thy promise, full and free,
Faithful, positive, and sure,
"As thy days thy strength shall be."

4 Heaven and earth may pass away,
God's free grace shall not decay;
He hath promised to fulfil
All the pleasure of His will.
2 He sustains thee by His hand,
He enables thee to stand;
Those whom Jesus once hath loved
From His grace are never moved.
3 Human counsels come to naught; 5 Jesus, Guardian of Thy flock,
That shall stand which God hath wrought; Be Thyself our constant Rock;
His compassion, love, and power Make us, by Thy powerful hand.
Are the same for evermore. Strong as Zion's mountain stand.

2 Though Satan's wrath beset our path, 3 In all the strife of mortal life
And worldly scorn assail us,
While Thou art near we will not fear,
Thy strength shall never fail us:
Thy rod and staff shall keep us safe,
And guide our steps for ever;
Our feet shall stand securely;
Temptation's hour shall lose its power,
For Thou shalt guard us surely.
O God, renew, with heavenly dew,
Our body, soul, and spirit,
Nor shades of death, nor hell beneath, Until we stand at Thy right hand.
Our souls from Thee shall sever. Through Jesus' saving merit.

Some love is found.

So that earth's bliss may be our guide, A yearning for a deeper peace

We sweetly then pursue

We cheerfully can say.
Let the unknown to-morrow
Bring with it what it may.

But He will bear us through;
Who gives the lilies clothing
Will clothe His people too :
Beneath the spreading heavens
No creature but is fed;
And He w'ho feeds the ravens
Will give His children bread,

Though all the field should withei^
Nor flocks nor herds be there;

We every moment come.

Stronger and brighter shine;
Nor present things, nor things to come,

Nor feel the heavenly flame,
Then is the time to trust our God,
And rest upon His Name.
5 Soon shall our doubts and fears
Subside at His control;
His loving-kindness shall break through
The midnight of the soul.

That stays himself on Thee:
Who wait for Thy salvation. Lord,

Our wandering footsteps guide;
Give us each day our daily bread,
And raiment fit provide.

Before Thy throne of grace; Till all our wanderings cease,
God of our fathers, be the God And at our Father's loved abode
Of their succeeding race. Our souls arrive in peace.

Our humble prayers implore;
And Thou shalt be our chosen God,
And portion evermore.

2 O grant that nothing in my soul
May dwell, but Thy pure love
alone ;
O may Thy love possess me whole,
My joy, my treasure, and my crown:
Strange fires far from my soul remove;
My every act, word, thought, be love.
4 Still let Thy love point out my way;
How wondrous things Thy love hath
wrought !
Still lead me, lest I go astray;
Direct my work, inspire my thought;
And if I fall, soon may I hear
Thy voice, and know that love is near.
3 O love, how cheering is thy ray!
All pain before thy presence flies :
Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away,
Where'er thy healing beams arise.
O Jesus, nothing may I see.
Or hear, or feel, or think, but Thee.
Rev. Paul Gerhardt, 1653.
5 In suffering, be Thy love my peace;
In weakness, be Thy love my power ;
And when the storms of life shall cease,

And save me, who for me hast died.

2 I fear no tribulation,
Since, whatsoe'er it be.
It makes no separation
Between my Lord and me.
If Thou, my God and Teacher,
Vouchsafe to be my own,
Though poor, I shall be richer
Than monarch on his throne.
3 If, while on earth I wander,
My heart is light and blest.
Ah, what shall I be yonder,
In perfect peace and rest?
O blessed thought in dying!
We go to meet the Lord,
Where there shall be no sighing,
A kingdom our reward.

2 Our outward lips confess the Name
All other names above;
Love only knoweth whence it came,
And comprehendeth love.
3 We may not climb the heavenly
steeps
To bring the Lord Christ down;
In vain we search the lowest deeps,
For Him no depths can drown:
4 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet
A present help is He;
And faith has still its Olivet,
And love its Galilee.
SERENITY C. M
5 The healing of His seamless dress
Is by our beds of pain;
We touch Him in life's throng and press.
And we are whole again.
6 Through Him the first fond prayers are
said
Our lips of childhood frame;
The last low whispers of our dead
Are burdened with His Name.
7 Our Lord, and Master of us all,
Whate'er our name or sign,
We own Thy sway, we hear Thy call.
We test our lives by Thine.

I yield my flickering torch to Thee; I cannot close my heart to Thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray, I trace the rainbow through the rain,
That in Thy sunshine's blaze its day And feel the promise is not vain
May brighter, fairer be. That morn shall tearless be.
4 0 Cross that liftest up my head,

1 If Christ is mine, then all is mine, 4 If He is mine, let friends forsake,
And more than angels know; And earthly comforts flee;
Both present things and things to come. He, the Dispenser of all good.
And grace and glory too. Is more than these to me.
2 If He is mine, then, though He frown, 5 If He is mine, I'll fearless pass
He never will forsake; Through death's tremendous vale;
His chastisements all work for good. He'll be my Comfort and my Stay
And but His love bespeak. When heart and flesh shall fail.
3 If He is mine, I need not fear
The rage of earth and hell;
He will support my feeble frame,
And all their power repel.
6 Let Jesus tell me He is mine,
I nothing want beside:
My soul shall at the Fountain live
When all the streams are dried.

2 I could not do without Thee,
I cannot stand alone,
I have no strength or goodness,
No wisdom of my own;
But Thou, beloved Saviour,
Art All in all to me.
And weakness will be power,
If leaning hard on Thee.
3 I could not do without Thee;
No other friend can read
The spirit's strange deep longings,
Interpreting its need;
No human heart could enter
Each dim recess of mine,
And soothe, and hush, and calm it,
O blessed Lord, but Thine.
4 I could not do without Thee,
For years are fleeting fast,
And soon in solemn loneliness
The river must be passed;
But Thou wilt never leave me,
And though the waves roll high,
I know Thou wilt be near me,
And whisper, "It is I."

2 Yet He found me; I beheld Him
Bleeding on the accursed tree,
Heard Him pray, "Forgive them, Father!
And my wistful heart said faintly,
"Some of self, and some of Thee."
3 Day by day His tender mercy,
Healing, helping, full and free.
Sweet and strong, and, ah! so patient,
Brought me lower, while I whispered,
"Less of self, and more of Thee."
4 Higher than the highest heavens,
Deeper than the deepest sea.
Lord, Thy love at last hath conquered;
Grant me now my supplication,
"None of self, and all of Thee."

1 Something every heart is loving; —
None but Christ can bring it rest:
Lord, my heart to Thee is given;
Take it, for it loves Thee best.
2 Though the world were set beside Thee, 4 Keep my heart still true and faithful,
Still my heart would choose Thee now ; That my earthly life may be
Naught on earth and naught in heaven Like a vesture of the glory
Seems so beautiful as Thou. Of my hidden life in Thee.

3 Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surging round?
On Jesus' bosom naught but calm is found.

In Jesus' keeping we are safe and they.
5 Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown?

2 In darkness willingly I strayed;
I sought Thee, yet from Thee I roved;
For wide my wandering thoughts were
spread;
Thy creatures more than Thee I loved ;
And now, if more at length I see,
'Tis through Thy light, and comes from
Thee.
3 Uphold me in the doubtful race,
Nor suffer me again to stray;
Strengthen my feet, with steady pace
Still to press forward in Thy way;
My soul and flesh, O Lord of might,
Fill, satiate with Thy heavenly light.
4 Thee will I love, my Joy, my Crown;
Thee will I love, my Lord, my God;
Thee will I love, beneath Thy frown
Or smile. Thy sceptre or Thy rod.
What though my flesh and heart decay?
Thee shall I love in endless day.

Keep Thy fear before my sight;
Be Thy praise my highest aim ;

Freely from Thy fulness give;
Till I close my earthly race.
May I prove it "Christ to live."
4 Firmly trusting in Thy blood.
Nothing shall my heart confound;
Safely I shall pass the flood,
Safely reach Emmanuel's ground,

To the land of cloudless sky;

Will here all good provide;
While Christ is rich, can I be poor?
What can I want beside?
6 O Lord, I cast my care on Thee;
I triumph and adore:
Henceforth my great concern shall be
To love and please Thee more.
Rev. John Ryland, 1777
559 (XAVIER) CM.
1 My God, I love Thee; not because
I hope for heaven thereby,
Nor yet because who love Thee not
Must die eternally.
2 Thou, O Lord Jesus, Thou didst me
Upon the cross embrace;
For me didst bear the nails and spear.
And manifold disgrace,
4 Then why, O blessed Jesus Christ,
Should I not love Thee well?
Not for the hope of winning heaven,
Or of escaping hell;
5 Not with the hope of gaining aught,
Not seeking a reward;
But as Thyself hast loved me,
0 ever-loving Lord?
3 And griefs and torments numberless, 6 E'en so I love Thee, and will love,
And sweat of agony; And in Thy praise will sing;
E'en death itself; and all for one Solely because Thou art my God,
Who was Thine enemy. And my Eternal King.
From a 17th century Latin version of a Spanish sonnet ascribed to Francis Xavier,
c. 1546. Trans, by Rev. Edward Caswall, 1849: verse i, lines 3, 4, alt.

2 Breathe, O breathe Thy lo\ang Spirit
Into every troubled breast;
Let us all in Thee inherit,
Let us find the promised rest:
Take away the love of sinning;
Alpha and Omega be;
End of faith, as its Beginning,
Set our hearts at liberty.
3 Come, Almighty to deliver,
Let us all Thy life receive;
Suddenly return, and never,
Never more Thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing.
Serve Thee as Thy hosts above,
Pray, and praise Thee, without ceasing.
Glory in Thy perfect lo\'e.
4 Finish, then. Thy new creation;
Pure and spotless let us be:
Let us see Thy great salvation
Perfectly restored in Thee;
Changed from glory into glory,
Till in heaven we take our place.
Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

2 I've found a Friend; O such a Friend!
He bled, He died to save me;
And not alone the gift of life,
But His own self He gave me.
Naught that I have mine own I'll call,
I'll hold it for the Giver;
My heart, my strength, my life, my all,
Are His, and His for ever.
3 I've found a Friend; 0 such a Friend!
All power to Him is given.
To guard me on my onward course.
And bring me safe to heaven:
Eternal glory gleams afar,
To nerve my faint endeavor:
So now to watch, to work, to war;
And then to rest for ever.
4 I've found a friend; 0 such a Friend,
So Lind and true and tender!
So wise a Counsellor and Guide,
So mighty a Defender!
From Him who loves me now so well
What power my soul shall sever?
Shall life or death, shall earth or hell?
No: I am His for ever.

Once again beside the cross,
All my gain I count but loss;
Earthly pleasures fade away, —
Clouds they are that hide my day:
Hence, vain shadows! let me see
Jesus crucified for me.

1 Dear Lord and Master mine,
Thy happy servant see;
My Conqueror, with what joy Divine
Thy captive clings to Thee!
2 I love Thy yoke to wear.
To feel Thy gracious bands;
Sweetly restrained by Thy care
And happy in Thy hands.
3 No bar would I remove.
No bond would I unbind;
Within the limits of Thy love
Full liberty I find.
Blessed Saviour, Thine am I,
Thine to live, and Thine to die;
Height or depth, or creature power,
Ne'er shall hide my Saviour more:
Ever shall my glory be,
Only, only, only Thee.
Rev. George Duffield, 1851
4 I would not walk alone,
But still with Thee, my God;
At every step my blindness own,
And ask of Thee the road.
5 Dear Lord and Master mine,
Still keep Thy servant true;
My Guardian and my Guide Divine,
Bring, bring Thy pilgrim through.

Still keep me in Thy train ;
And with Thee Thy glad captive bring
When Thou return'st to reign.

Let Thy blood, for sinners spilt.

Take possession of my breast;

And without a rival reign.

1 From every stormy wind that blows.
From every swelling tide of woes,
There is a calm, a sure retreat;
'Tis found beneath the mercy-seat.
2 There is a place where Jesus sheds '
The oil of gladness on our heads,
A place than all besides more sweet;
It is the blood-stained mercy-seat.
3 There is a spot where spirits blend.
Where friend holds fellowship with t
friend,
Though sundered far; by faith they meet
Around the common mercy-seat.
Rev. John Newton, 1779
4 Ah, whither could we flee for aid.
When tempted, desolate, dismayed,
Or how the hosts of hell defeat,
Had suffering saints no mercy-seat?
5 There, there on eagle wings we soar.
And time and sense seem all no more.
And heaven comes down our souls to
greet.
And glory crowns the mercy-seat.
6 O may my hand forget her skill,
My tongue be silent, cold, and still,
This bounding heart forget to beat,
If I forget the mercy-seat.

For one brief hour of prayer.

Returning from his ways.

Prayer the sublimest strains that reach His watchword at the gates of death;

1 There is an eye that never sleeps
Beneath the wing of night;
There is an ear that never shuts
When sink the beams of light;
2 There is an arm that never tires
When human strength gives way;
There is a love that never fails
When earthly loves decay.
3 That eye is fixed on seraph throngs;
That arm upholds the sky;
That ear is filled with angel songs;
That love is throned on high.
4 But there's a power which man can wield
When mortal aid is vain.
That eye, that arm, that love to reach,
That listening ear to gain.
That power is prayer, which soars on high.
Through Jesus, to the throne.
And moves the hand which moves the world,
To bring salvation down.

2 When the worldling, sick at heart,
Lifts his soul above;
When the prodigal looks back
To his Father's love;
When the proud man, in his pride,
Stoops to seek Thy face;
When the burdened brings his guilt
To Thy throne of grace:
Hear then in love, O Lord, the cry
In heaven, Thy dwelling-place on high.
3 When the stranger asks a home,
All his toils to end;
When the hungry craveth food,
And the poor a friend;
When the sailor on the wave
Bows the fervent knee;
When the soldier on the field
Lifts his heart to Thee:
Hear then in love, O Lord, the cry
In heaven, Thy dwelling-place on high.
Iprai^er
4 When the man of toil and care
In the city crowd,
When the shepherd on the moor
Names the Name of God;
When the learned and the high,
Tired of earthly fame,
Upon higher joys intent,
Name the blessed Name:
Hear then in love, O Lord, the cry
In heaven, Thy dwelling-place on high.

WALDEN C. M.
5 When the child, with grave fresh lip,
Youth or maiden fair,
When the aged, weak and gray,
Seek Thy face in prayer;
When the widow weeps to Thee,
Sad and lone and low;
When the orphan brings to Thee
All his orphan woe:
Hear then in love, 0 Lord, the cry
In heaven. Thy dwelling-place on high.

By per. of Jas. Edmund Jones
2 The secrets of Thy dark decrees
Deep night in silence sings;
Thy mercy's light, in golden seas,
The flooding sunshine brings.
3 Nor thought nor voice fulfil their part,
When by such wonders thrilled;
Yet love that pulses through the heart
Refuses to be stilled.
4 So let it speak our Father's praise.
To Thee whose grace affords
A present help in evil days,
And hope of great rewards.
5 To them our dearest wishes rise,
Though earthly thoughts contend:
O Jesus, draw us toward the skies.
And guide us till the end.

Sweet words of holy cheer,
How they who seek in God their rest
Shall ever find Him near;

A city fair and new,
Where eye and heart shall see and prove
What faith has counted true.

It cannot more be sad;
For very joy it laughs and sings, —
Sees naught but sunshine glad.

He who wakes from slumber
At the Spirit's voice,
Daring here to number
Things unseen his choice:
He who casts his burden
Down at Jesus' cross;
Christ's reproach his guerdon,
All beside but loss.
He who gladly barters
All on earthly ground;
He who, like the martyrs,
Says, "I will be crowned:"
He whose one oblation
Is a life of love;
Clinging to the nation
Of the blest above.
4 Shame upon you, legions
Of the heavenly King,
Denizens of regions
Past imagining!
What! with pipe and tabor
Dream away the light,
When he bids you labor.
When He tells you, "Fight"?
5 While I do my duty.
Struggling through the tide,
Whisper Thou of beauty
On the other side;
Tell who will the story
Of to-day's distress; —
O the future glory!
O the loveliness!

We would see Jesus, the great Rock Foundation
Whereon our feet were set by sovereign grace:
Not life nor death, with all their agitation,
"Can thence remove us, if we see His face.
We would see Jesus: other lights are paling,
Which for long years we have rejoiced to see;
The blessings of our pilgrimage are failing;
We would not mourn them, for we go to Thee.
We would see Jesus; yet the spirit lingers
Round the dear objects it has loved so long,
And earth from earth can scarce unclose its fingers;
Our love to Thee makes not this love less strong.
We would see Jesus: sense is all too blinding,
And heaven appears too dim, too far away;
We would see Thee, to gain a sweet reminding
That Thou hast promised our great debt to pay.
We would see Jesus: this is all we're needing;
Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight;
We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading;
Then welcome day, and farewell mortal night.

Both speed them to their source:

Pants to view His glorious face,
Forward tends to His abode,

3 Fly me riches, fly me cares,
Whilst I that coast explore;
Flattering world, with all thy snares,
Solicit me no more.
Pilgrims fix not here their home;
Strangers tarry but a night;
When the last dear morn is come,
They'll rise to joyful light.
Cease, ye pilgrims, cease to mourn,
Press onward to the prize;
Soon our Saviour will return
Triumphant in the skies:
Yet a season, and you know
Happy entrance will be given,
All our sorrows left below.
And earth exchanged for heaven.

Which neither life nor death can part

Where only Christ is heard to speak, Perfect, and right, and pure, and good,
Where Jesus reigns alone; A copy, Lord, of Thine.

2 Forward, flock of Jesus,
Salt of all the earth.
Till each yearning purpose
Spring to glorious birth:
Sick, they ask for healing,
Blind, they grope for day;
Pour upon the nations
Wisdom's loving ray.
Forward, out of error,
Leave behind the night;
Forward through the darkness,
Forward into light!
3 Glories upon glories
Hath our God prepared,
By the souls that love Him
One day to be shared;
Eye hath not beheld them,
Ear hath never heard;
Nor of these hath uttered
Thought or speech or word.
Forward, marching eastward
Where the heaven is bright,
Till the veil be lifted,
Till our faith be sight.
Heptration
4 Far o'er yon horizon
Rise the city towers,
Where our God abideth;
That fair home is ours:
Flash the streets with jasper,
Shine the gates with gold;
Flows the gladdening river.
Shedding joys untold.
Thither, onward thither.
In Jehovah's might;
Pilgrims to your country,
Forward into light!
5 To the Father's glory
Loudest anthems raise,
To the Son, and Spirit,
Echo songs of praise;
To the Lord Jehovah,
Blessed Three in One,
Be by men and angels
Endless honor done.
Weak are earthly praises,
Dull the songs of night:
Forward into triumph,
Forward into light!

2 What Thou shalt to-day provide
Let me as a child receive;
What to-morrow may betide
Calmly to Thy wisdom leave:
'Tis enough that Thou wilt care;
Why should I the burden bear?
3 As a little child relies
On a care beyond his own.
Knows he 's neither strong- nor wise,
Fears to stir a step alone, —
Let me thus with Thee abide.
As my Father, Guard, and Guide.
4 Thus preserved from Satan's wiles,
Safe from dangers, free from fears,
May I live upon Thy smiles
Till the promised hour appears,
When the sons of God shall prove
All their Father's boundless love.

2 'Tis mercy all, that Thou hast brought 4
My mind to seek her peace in Thee;
Yet while I seek, but find Thee not.
No peace my wandering soul shall see:
O when shall all my wanderings end.
And all my steps to Thee- ward tend!
3 Is there a thing beneath the sun
That strives with Thee my heart to 5
share ?
Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone.
The Lord of every motion there;
Then shall my heart from earth be free.
When it has found repose in Thee.
Gerhard Tersteegen, 1729,
O Love, Thy sovereign aid impart
To save me from low-thoughted care;
Chase this self-will through all my
heart,
Through all its latent mazes there;
Make me Thy duteous child, that I
Ceaseless may "Abba, Father," cry.
Each moment draw from earth away
My heart, that lowly waits Thy call;
Speak to my inmost soul, and say,
"I am thy Love, thy God, thy All: "
To feel Thy power, to hear Thy voice,
To taste Thy love, be all my choice.

Nail my affections to the cross; Dauntless, untired, I follow Thee:
Hallow each thought; let all within O let Thy hand support me still,
Be clean, as Thou, my Lord, art clean. And lead me to Thy holy hill.

On sinners of a mortal race,
To call them sons of God!

But when we see our Saviour here,
We shall be like our Head.
5 O Master, point Thou out the way.
Nor suffer Thou our steps to stray;
Then in the path that leads to day
We follow Thee.

Thy footsteps on the way we trace:

To rest upon my heart.

Unhelped by Thee, in error's maze we grope,
While passion stains and folly dims our youth.
And age comes on uncheered by faith and hope.

Blindly we stumble when we walk alone,
Involved in shadows of a moral night;
Only with Thee we journey safely on.

2 Stronger His love than death or hell;
Its riches are unsearchable:
The firstborn sons of light
Desire in vain its depth to see;
They cannot reach the mystery,
The length and breadth and height.
God only knows the love of God:

In this poor stony heart!

This only portion, Lord, be mine,
Be mine this better part.

1 O Lord, how happy should we be
If we could cast our care on Thee,
If we from self could rest.
And feel at heart that One above,
In perfect wisdom, perfect love,
Is working for the best!
2 How far from this our daily Hfe,
Ever disturbed by anxious strife,
By sudden, wild alarms!
O could we but relinquish all
Our earthly props, and simply fall
On Thy almighty arms!
3 Could we but kneel and cast our load,
E'en while we pray, upon our God,
Then rise with lightened cheer.
Sure that the Father, who is nigh
To still the famished raven's cry,
Will hear in that we fear!
4 Lord, make these faithless hearts of ours
Such lesson learn from birds and flowers;
Make them from self to cease.
Leave all things to a Father's will.
And taste, before Him lying still.
E'en in affliction, peace.

One sovereign word can draw me thence;
I would obey the voice Divine,
And all inferior joys resign.
Be earth, with all her scenes, withdrawn,
Let noise and vanity be gone;
In secret silence of the mind
My heaven, and there my God, I find.

2 The highest hopes we cherish here,
How fast they tire and faint;
How many a spot defiles the robe
That wraps an earthly saint:
O for a heart that never sins,
O for a soul washed white,
O for a voice to praise our King,
Nor weary day or night!
3 Here faith is ours, and heavenly hope,
And grace to lead us higher;
But there are perfectness and peace.
Beyond our best desire:
O by Thy love and anguish, Lord,
And by Thy life laid down.
Grant that we fall not from Thy grace,
Nor cast away our crown !

2 Among the mists we stumbled, and the rocks
Where the brown lichen whitens, and the fox
Watches the straggler from the scattered flocks;
But evening brings us home.
3 We have been wounded by the hunter's darts;
Our eyes are very hea\y, and our hearts
Search for Thy coming: — when the light departs
At evening, bring us home.
4 The darkness gathers; through the gloom no star
Rises to guide us; we have wandered far;
Without Thy lamp we know not where we are:
At evening bring us home.
5 The clouds are round us, and the snow-drifts thicken;
O Thou, dear Shepherd, leave us not to sicken
In the waste night; our tardy footsteps quicken:
At evening bring us home.

My harp has silent hung:

Till Thou inspire my tongue?

And fain would thither flee:
My heart, O Zion, droops and yearns
When I remember thee.
4 To thee, to thee I press,
A dark and toilsome road:
When shall I pass the wilderness,

On Thee my hopes I cast:

2 No, no, it is not dying
Heaven's citizen to be;
A crown immortal wearing,
And rest unbroken sharing,
From care and conflict free!"
Rev. H. A. Cesar Malan
3 No, no, it is not dying
To hear this gracious word,
"Receive a Father's blessing,
For evermore possessing
The favor of thy Lord."
4 No, no, it is not dying
The Shepherd's voice to know:
His sheep He ever leadeth,
His peaceful flock He feedeth.
Where living pastures grow.
5 No, no, it is not dying
To wear a lordly crown;
Among God's people dwelling,
The glorious triumph swelling
Of Him whose sway we own.

1 It is not death to die.
To leave this weary road.
And midst the brotherhood on high
To be at home with God.
2 It is not death to close
The eye long dimmed by tears,
And wake, in glorious repose
To spend eternal years.
3 It is not death to bear
The wrench that sets us free
Rev. H. A. Cesar
From dungeon chain, to breathe the air
Of boundless liberty.
4 It is not death to fling
Aside this sinful dust.
And rise, on strong exulting wing,
To live among the just.
5 Jesus, Thou Prince of Life,
Thy chosen cannot die:
Like Thee, they conquer in the strife.
To reign with Thee on high.

done,
No more their weary course they run,
No more they faint, no more they fall.
No foes oppress, no fears appal:
O happy saints! for ever blest,
In that dear home how sweet your rest !
While yet their mortal bodies sleep,
Till from the dust they too shall rise
And soar triumphant to the skies:
O happy saints! rejoice and sing;
He quickly comes, your Lord and
King.
3 The saints of God! Life's voyage o'er.
Safe landed on that blissful shore.
No stormy tempests now they dread,
No roaring billows lift their head:
O happy saints! for ever blest.
In that calm haven of your rest!
5 O God of saints, to Thee we cry;
O Saviour, plead for us on high;
O Holy Ghost, our Guide and Friend,
Grant us Thy grace till life shall end;
That with all saints our rest may be
In that bright Paradise with Thee.

I'm nearer my home to-day
Than I I ever have I been be-
4 But the waves of that silent sea
Roll dark be | fore my | sight, ||
That brightly the other side
fore; | Break on a | shore of | light.
2 Nearer my Father's house,
Where the many | mansions | be; ||
Nearer the great white throne,
I Nearer the | crystal | sea;
3 Nearer the bound of life,
Where we lay our | burdens | down;
Nearer leaving the cross,
I Nearer | gaining the | crown.
5 O if my mortal feet
Have almost | gained the | brink.
If it be I am nearer home
I Even to- | day than I | think,
6 Father, perfect my trust;
I Let my spirit | feel in | death ||
That her feet are firmly set
On the I rock of a | living | faith.

2 The King there in His beauty
Without a veil is seen;
It were a well-spent journey
Though seven deaths lay between:
The Lamb with His fair army
Doth on Mount Zion stand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Emmanuel's land.
3 O Christ, He is the Fountain,
The deep sweet Well of love!
The streams on earth I 've tasted
More deep I'll drink above:
There to an ocean fulness
His mercy doth expand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Emmanuel's land.
4 The bride eyes not her garment,
But her dear bridegroom's face;
I will not gaze at glory.
But on my King of grace;
Not at the crown He gifteth,
But on His pierced hand:
The Lamb is all the glory
Of Emmanuel's land.

2 Truly "Jerusalem" name we that shore,
"Vision of Peace," that brings joy evermore;
Wish and fulfilment can severed be ne'er,
Nor the thing prayed for come short of the prayer.
3 We, where no trouble distraction can bring.
Safely the anthems of Zion shall sing;
While for Thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise
Thy blessed people shall evermore raise.
4 There dawns no Sabbath, no Sabbath is o'er,
Those Sabbath-keepers have one and no more;
One and unending is that triumph-song
Which to the angels and us shall belong.
5 Now in the meanwhile, with hearts raised on high,
We for that country must yearn and must sigh;
Seeking Jerusalem, dear native land.
Through our long exile on Babylon's strand.
6 Low before Him with our praises we fall.
Of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all;
Of whom, the Father; and in whom, the Son;
Through whom, the Spirit, with these, ever One.
Peter Abelard (1079-1142).

2 From every clime and kindred,
And nations from afar,
As serried ranks returning home
In trimnph from a war,
I heard the saints upraising,
The myriad hosts among.
In praise of Him who died, and Hves,
Their one glad triumph-song.
3 I saw the holy city,
The New Jerusalem,
Come down from heaven a Bride
adorned
With jewelled diadem:
And there His servants serve Him,
And, life's long battle o'er,
Enthroned with Him, their Saviour,
King,
They reign for evermore.
4 O Lamb of God who reignest.
Thou Bright and Morning Star,
Whose glory lightens that new earth
Which now we see from far;
O worthy Judge Eternal,
When Thou dost bid us come.
Then open wide the gates of pearl,
And call Thy servants home.

Thy bulwarks diamonds square;
Thy gates are of right orient pearl,
Exceeding rich and rare.
Thy turrets and thy pinnacles
With carbuncles do shine;
Thy very streets are paved with
gold, _
Surpassing clear and fine.
3 Thy gardens and thy gallant walks
Continually are green,
There grow such sweet and pleasant
flowers
"F. B. P.," in MS,
As nowhere else are seen.
Quite through the streets, with
silver sound,
The flood of life doth flow;
Upon whose banks on every side
The wood of life doth grow.
4 There trees for evermore bear fruit,
And evermore do spring;
There evermore the angels sit,
And evermore do sing.

Would God I were in thee!
Would God my woes were at an end.

And there I too shall rest,
Heaven is my home.
4 Therefore I murmur not,
Heaven is my home;
Whate'er my earthly lot,

Of immortality.

4 There the meadows green and dewy-
Shine with lilies wondrous fair;
Thousand, thousand are the colors
Of the waving flowers there.
O that I had wings, etc.
5 There the wind is sweetly fragrant,
And is laden with the song
Of the seraphs, and the elders,
And the great redeemed throng.
0 that I had wings, etc.
All the walls of that dear city
Are of bright and burnished gold;
It is matchless in its beauty.
And its treasures are untold.
O that I had wings, etc.
From the throne a river issues.
Clear as crystal, passing bright.
And it traverses the city
Like a sudden beam of light.
O that I had wings, etc.

Here to catch that happy strain!
O I would my eyes some vision
Of that Eden could attain!

2 There everlasting spring abides,
And never- withering flowers;
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heavenly land from ours.
4 But timorous mortals start and shrink
To cross this narrow sea;
And linger, shivering, on the brink.
And fear to launch away.
3 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood 5 O could we make our doubts remove,
Stand dressed in Hving green; Those gloomy doubts that rise.
So to the Jews old Canaan stood. And see the Canaan that we love
^ While Jordan rolled between. With unbeclouded eyes;
6 Could we but climb where Moses stood,
And view the landscape o'er,
Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood.
Should fright us from the shore.

There for ever and for ever
Alleluia is outpoured;
For unending, for unbroken,
Is the feast-day of the Lord;
All is pure, and all is holy
That within thy walls is stored.
There no cloud or passing vapor
Dims the brightness of the air;
Endless noonday, glorious noonday,
From the Sun of suns is there;
There no night brings rest from labor
There unknown are toil and care.
Anon. (Latin, 15th cent.)
0 how glorious and resplendent,
Fragile body, shalt thou be.
When endued with so much beauty,
Full of health, and strong, and free,-
Full of vigor, full of pleasure
That shall last eternally!
5 Now with gladness, now with coura;
Bear the burden on thee laid.
That hereafter these thy labors
May with endless gifts be paid,
, And in everlasting glory
Thou with joy may'st be arrayed.
Trans, by Rev. John M. Neale, 1854: verse i, line 2, alt.

The follouiing Hymns are also sitilahle :
13 The radiant morn hath passed away. 443 When this passing world is done.
57 Upward where the stars are burning. 584 Those eternal bowers.
261 Ten thousand times ten thousand. 590 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings.
427 Who are these like stars appearing. 594 Forward! be our watchword.
429 Hark! the sound of holy voices. 613 The roseate hues of early dawn.
430 Give me the wings of faith to rise. 619 The saints of God! Their conflict past.

2 As the winged arrow flies
Speedily the mark to find,
As the Hghtning from the skies
Darts, and leaves no trace behind,
Swiftly thus our fleeting days
Bear us down life's rapid stream;
Upward, Lord, our spirits raise,
All below is but a dream.
3 Thanks for mercies past receive;
Pardon of our sins renew;
Teach us henceforth how to live
With eternity in view;
Bless Thy word to young and old;
Fill us wdth a Sa^•iour's love;
And when life's short tale is told.
May we dwell with Thee above.

Rouse dead souls to hear Thy voice; We with all the dead shall stand:
Wake, O wake each idle dreamer Saviour, over death victorious.
Now to make the eternal choice. Place us then on Thy right hand.
3 As a shadow Hfe is fleeting;
As a vapor so it flies;
For the old year now retreating
Pardon grant, and make us wise;

Strive and wrestle with our sin.
Stay not in our work, nor slumber
Till Thy glorious rest we win.

2 By day, by night, at home, abroad,
Still are we guarded by our God;
By His incessant bounty fed.
By His unerring counsel led.
3 With grateful hearts the past we own;
The future, all to us unknown.
We to Thy guardian care commit,
And peaceful leave before Thy feet.
4 In scenes exalted or depressed,
Thou art our Joy, and Thou our Rest;
Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise,
Adored through all our changing days.
5 When death shall interrupt these songs,
And seal in silence mortal tongues;
Our Helper God, in whom we trust.
In better worlds our souls shall boast.

1 For Thy mercy and Thy grace,
Faithful through another year,
Hear our song of thankfulness;
Father, and Redeemer, hear.
2 Lo! our sins on Thee we cast.
Thee, our perfect Sacrifice;
And, forgetting all the past.
Press towards our glorious prize.
3 Darkthe future; let Thy light 6 So within Thy palace gate
Guide us. Bright and Morning Star: We shall praise, on golden strings,
Fierce our foes, and hard the fight; Thee, the only Potentate,
Arm us. Saviour, for the war. Lord of lords, and King of kings.
Rev. Henry Downton, 1841
The following Hymns are also suitable :
In our weakness and distress,
Rock of strength, be Thou our Stay;
In the pathless wilderness
Be our true and living Way.
Keep us faithful, keep us pure.
Keep us evermore Thine own;
Help, O help us to endure;
Fit us for the promised crown.
89 O God, the Rock of Ages.
117 Our God, our Help in ages past.
138 Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling-place.
617 Lord, it belongs not to my care.
533 O God of Bethel, by whose hand.
590 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings.

2 And now, on this our festal day,
Thy bounteous hand confessing,
Upon Thine altar, Lord, we lay
The first-fruits of Thy blessing:
By Thee the souls of men are fed
With gifts of grace supernal;
Thou who dost give us daily
bread.
Give us the Bread eternal.
3 We bear the burden of the day.
And often toil seems dreary;
But labor ends with sunset ray,
And rest is for the weary;
May we, the angel-reaping o'er,
Stand at the last accepted,
Christ's golden sheaves for evermore
To garners bright elected.
4 O blessed is that land of God
Where saints abide for ever,
Where golden fields spread fair and
broad,
Where flows the crystal river:
The strains of all its holy throng
With ours to-day are blending;
Thrice blessed is that harvest-song
Which never hath an ending.

2 All the world is God's own field,
Fruit unto His praise to yield;
Wheat and tares together sown,
Unto joy or sorrow grown:
First the blade, and then the ear.
Then the full corn shall appear:
Lord of harvest, grant that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be.
3 For the Lord our God shall come,
And shall take His harvest home;
From His field shall in that day
All offences purge away;
Give His angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast,
But the fruitful ears to store
In His garner evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quickly come
To Thy final harvest-home;
Gather Thou Thy people in, _
Free from sorrow, free from sin;
There for ever purified,
In Thy presence to abide :
Come, with all Thine angels, come,
Raise the glorious harvest-home.

The Son, and Him who reigns
With them in highest heaven.

From selfish greed and grasping power,
From wilful waste of freedom's dower,
From pleasure's flooding wave;

From all assaults by passion led.
From anarchy with banners red.
Good Lojd, defend and save.

Inflame with love's pure fire;
Bind her once more in one.
And life and truth inspire:
O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand,
And guard and bless our fatherland.
5 Give peace. Lord, in our time;
O let no foe draw nigh,
Nor lawless deed of crime
Insult Thy Majesty:
O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand.
And guard and bless our fatherland.

3 Let power and justice side by side
Bring civil peace and civic pride;
Still may the ancient order bide

Keep green the memory of the good,
Defend the ramparts, where they
stood.
With men who trust in Thee.

2 Wake in our breasts the living fires, 4 God of all nations, Sovereign Lord,
The holy faith that warmed our sires : In Thy dread Name we draw the sword,
Thy hand hath made our nation free; We lift the starry flag on high
To die for her is serving Thee. That fills with light our stormy sky.
3 Be Thou a pillared flame to show 5 From treason's rent, from murder's stain.
The midnight snare, the silent foe; Guard Thou its folds till peace shall reign,
And when the battle thunders loud. Till fort and field, till shore and sea,
Still guide us in its moving cloud. Join our loud anthem, — Praise to Thee,

2 O Love Divine and tender,
That through our homes dost move,
Veiled in the softened splendor
Of holy household lov6,
A throne without Thy blessing
Were labor without rest,
And cottages possessing
Thy blessedness, are blest.
3 God bless these hands united;
God bless these hearts made one!
Unsevered and unblighted
May they through life go on;
Here in earth's home preparing
For the bright home above,
And there for ever sharing
Its joy where God is Love.

3 Be present, Heavenly Father,
To give away this bride,
As Eve thou gav'st to Adam
Out of his own pierced side.
4 Be present, Son of Mary,
To join their loving hands,
As Thou didst bind two natures
In Thine eternal bands.
5 Be present. Holiest Spirit,
To bless them as they kneel,
As Thou for Christ, the Bridegroom,
The heavenly Spouse dost seal.
6 O spread Thy pure wing o'er them,
Let no ill power find place.
While onward to Thy presence
Their hallowed path they trace.

Of tender charity and steadfast faith,
Of patient hope, and quiet, brave endurance,
With childlike trust that fears nor pain nor death.
3 Grant them the joy which brightens earthly sorrow;
Grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife,
And to life's day the glorious unknown morrow
That dawns upon eternal love and life.

Through Jesus Christ Thy co-eternal Word,
Who, with the Holy Ghost, by all things living

O happy home, where two in heart united
In holy faith and blessed hope are one.
Whom death a little while alone divideth,
And cannot end the union here begun!
O happy home, whose little ones are given
Early to Thee in humble faith and prayer.
To Thee, their Friend, who from the heights of heaven
Guides them, and guards with more than mother's care!
O happy home, where each one serves Thee, lowly,
Whatever his appointed work may be,
Till every common task seems great and holy,
When it is done, O Lord, as unto Thee!
0 happy home, where Thou art not forgotten
When joy is overflowing, full and free,_
O happy home, where every wounded spirit
Is brought. Physician, Comforter, to Thee, —
) Until at last, when earth's day's-work is ended.
All meet Thee in the blessed home above.
From whence Thou camest, where Thou hast ascended, —
Thy everlasting home of peace and love.

2 How many, at His call,
Have parted from our throng!
They watch us from the crystal wall,
And echo back our song.
They rest, beyond complaints,
Beyond all sighs and tears:
Praise be to God for all His saints
Who wrought in bygone years.
3 The banners they upbore
Our hands still lift on high;
The Lord they followed evermore
To us is also nigh.

2 Fierce is our subtle foeman:
The forces at his hand
With woes that none can number
Despoil the pleasant land;
All they who war against them,
In strife so keen and long,
Must in their Saviour's armor
Be stronger than the strong.
3 So hast Thou wrought among us
The great things that we see!
For things that are we thank Thee,
And for the things to be:
For bright hope is uplifting
Faint hands and feeble knees.
To strive beneath Thy blessing
For greater things than these.
4 Lead on, 0 Love and Mercy,
O Purity and Power;
Lead on till peace eternal
Shall close this battle-hour:
Till all who prayed and struggled
To set their brethren free.
In triumph meet to praise Thee,

And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall :
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
Lived on earth our Saviour Holy.
4 For He is our childhood's Pattern,
Day by day like us He grew,
He was little, weak and helpless,
Tears and smiles like us He knew:
And He feeleth for our sadness,
And He shareth in our gladness.
3 And, through all His wondrous childhood 5 And our eyes at last shall see Him,
He would honor and obey. Through His own redeeming love;
Love and watch the lowly maiden For that Child so dear and gentle
In whose gentle arms He lay: Is our Lord in hea\-en above,
Christian children all must be And He leads His children on
Mild, obedient, good as He. To the place where He is gone.
6 Not in that poor lowly stable,
With the oxen standing by,
We shall see Him, but in heaven.
Set at God's right hand on high;
When like stars His children crowned
All in white shall wait around.

2 There's a tumult of joy
O'er the wonderful birth!
For the Virgin's sweet Boy
Is the Lord of the Earth.
Ay! the star rains its fire and the beautiful sing,
For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King.
3 In the light of that star
Lie the ages impearled;
And that song from afar
Has swept over the world:
Every hearth is aflame, and the beautiful sing
In the homes of the nations that Jesus is King.
4 We rejoice in the light,
And we echo the song
That comes down through the night
From the heavenly throng;
Ay! we shout to the lovely evangel they bring,
And we greet in His cradle our Sa\dour and King.

2 Heard you never of the story,
How they crossed the desert wild.
Journeyed on by plain and mountain.
Till they found the Holy Child?
How they opened all their treasure,
Kneeling to that infant King;
Gave the gold and fragrant incense,
Gave the myrrh in offering?

Was the Bright and Morning Star;
He who came to light the Gentiles,
And the darkened isles afar?
And we too may seek His cradle;
There our hearts' best treasures bring;

For our Saviour, God, and King.

2 I wish that His hands had been placed on my head,
That His arm had been thrown around me,
And that I might have seen His kind look when He said,
''Let the Httle ones come unto Me."
3 Yet still to His footstool in prayer I may go,
And ask for a share in His love;
And if I now earnestly seek Him below,
I shall see Him and hear Him above;
4 In that beautiful place He is gone to prepare
For all who are washed and forgiven;
And many dear children are gathering there,
For of such is the kingdom of heaven.
5 But thousands and thousands who wander and fall
Never heard of that heavenly home;
I should like them to know there is room for them all,
And that Jesus has bid them to come.
6 I long for the joy of that glorious time,
The sweetest and brightest and best.
When the dear little children of every cHme
Shall crowd to His arms ^nd be blest.

2 And since the Lord retaineth
His love for children still,
Though now as King He reigneth
On Zion's heavenly liill,
We'll flock around His banner
Who sits upon His throne,
And cry aloud, "Hosanna
To David's royal Son!"

3 For should we fail proclaiming
Our great Redeemer's praise,
The stones, our silence shaming,
Would their Hosannas raise.
But shall we only render

2 God's free mercy streameth
Over all the world,
And His banner gleameth.
Everywhere unfurled:
Broad and deep and glorious
As the heaven above.
Shines in might victorious
His eternal love.
3 Lord, upon our blindness
Thy pure radiance pour;
For Thy lo\dng-kindness
Make us love Thee more;
And when clouds are drifting
- Dark across our sky.
Then, the veil uplifting.
Father, be Thou nigh.
4 We will never doubt Thee,
Though Thou veil Thy light;
Life is dark without Thee,
Death with Thee is bright.
Light of light, shine o'er us
On our pilgrim way;
Go Thou still before us
To the endless day.

More wonderful it seems
Than all the golden fancies
Of all our golden dreams.

And that is just the reason
I tell it now to thee.

The message of salvation
From God's own holy word.

To hear it, like the rest.

That I have loved so long.

2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged:
Take it to the Lord in prayer !
Can we find a friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness —
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
3 Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our Refuge, —
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He'll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.

2 Day is declining, and the sun is low;
The shadows lengthen, light makes haste to go:
Room, room, still room! O enter, enter now.
3 The bridal hall is filling for the feast;
Pass in, pass in, and be the Bridegroom's guest:
Room, room, still room! O enter, enter now.
4 Yet there is room: still open stands the gate,
The gate of love; it is not yet too late:
Room, room, still room! O enter, enter now.
5 O enter in; that banquet is for thee;
That cup of everlasting joy is free:
Room, room, still room! O enter, enter now.
6 All heaven is there, all joy! Go in, go in;
The angels beckon thee the prize to win:
Room, room, still room! O enter, enter now.

Can I His loving voice despise,
And basely His kind care repay?
He calls me still; can I delay?
4 God calling yet! and shall I give
No heed, but still in bondage live?
I wait, but He does not forsake;
He calls me still; my heart, awake!
3 God calling yet! and shall He knock, 5 God calling yet! I cannot stay;
And I my heart the closer lock? My heart I yield without delay:

He will, the very Friend you need;
The Man of Nazareth, 'tis He,
With garments dyed at Calvary.
3 0 lovely attitude! He stands
With melting heart and laden hands:
O matchless kindness ! and He shows
This matchless kindness to His foes.
4 Rise, touched with gratitude Divine;
Turn out His enemy and thine.
That soul-destroying monster, sin.
And let the heavenly Stranger in.
5 Admit Him ere His anger burn;
His feet, departed, ne'er return:
Admit Him, or the hour's at hand
When at His door denied you'll stand.

He heard thy deep repentant sigh,

When no intruding ear was nigh.

Thy Saviour bids thy spirit live:

2 The Shepherd sought His sheep,
The Father sought His child;
They followed me o'er vale and hill,
O'er deserts waste and wild:
They found me nigh to death,
Famished and faint and lone;
They bound me with the bands of love.
They saved the wandering one,
3 Jesus my Shepherd is;
'Twas He that loved my soul,
'Twas He that washed me in His blood,
'Twas He that made me whole;
'Twas He that sought the lost.
That found the wandering sheep,
'Twas He that brought me to the fold,
'Tis He that still doth keep.
4 I was a wandering sheep,
I would not be controlled;
But now I love my Shepherd's voice,
I love, I love the fold.
I was a wayward child,
I once preferred to roam;
But now I love my Father's voice,
I love, I love His home.

And still He leads us on.
3 And He, at last, — after the weary strife,
After the restless fever we call life,
After the dreariness, the aching pain.
The wajnvard struggles which have proved in vain,
After our toils are past, —
Will give us rest at last.

2 Knocking, knocking, still He's there, 3 Knocking, knocking — what! still there?
Waiting, waiting, wondrous fair;
But the door is hard to open,
For the weeds and ivy-vine,
With their dark and clinging tendrils,
Ever round the hinges twine.
Waiting, waiting, grand and fair;
Yes, the pierced hand still knocketh,
And beneath the crowned hair
Beam the patient eyes, so tender,
Of thy Saviour, waiting there.
Arr. from Mrs. Harriet B. Stowe, 1867

Directtone for CbanttnQ
1 Chants consist of two distinct divisions: one portion is recited, the other
portion is sung.
2 The words from the commencement of each verse and half-verse up to the
accented syllable, which is printed in italics, are called the Recitation, and should
be recited smoothly, and without undue haste,
3 On reaching the accented syllable, and beginning with it, the music of the
chant commences, in strict time (a tetnpo), the upright strokes corresponding to
the bars. The Recitation must therefore be considered as outside the chant, and
may be of any length. The note on which the Recitation is made is called the
Reciting-note.
4 If there is no syllable after that which is accented, the accented syllable must
be held for one whole bar or measure.
5 An asterisk (*) is a direction to take breath. Other stops (, ;) must be at-
tended to, as in good reading.
6 As the accent holds the position of the first beat of the first bar, it is unneces-
sary to sing it louder than any of the words recited: its position, musically, will
give it quite enough emphasis.
7 Final ed is always to be pronounced as a separate syllable.
8 The expression "2nd part" indicates that the verse so marked is to be sung
to the second half of a double chant, when such chant is used.

THE PSALTER
SELECTION 1
Psalm i
1 BLESSED is the man that walketh
not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor
standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth
in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the
Lord ; and in his law doth he meditate
day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted
by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth
his fruit in his season ; his leaf also shall
not wither ; and whatsoever he doeth shall
prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so : but are like
the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand
in the judgment, nor sinners in the con-
gregation of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knoweth the way of
the righteous : but the way of the ungodly
shall perish.
Psalm 2
7 WHY do the heathen rage, and the
people imagine a vain thing?
8 The kings of the earth set them-
selves, and the rulers take counsel to-
gether, against the Lord, and against his
Anointed, saying,
9 Let us break their bands asunder,
and cast away their cords from us.
10 He that sitteth in the heavens shall
laugh : the Lord shall have them in de-
rision.
1 1 Then shall he speak unto them in
his wrath, and vex them in his sore dis-
pleasure.
12 Yet have I set my King upon my
holy hill of Zion.
13 I will declare the decree : the Lord
hath said unto me. Thou art my Son ; this
day have I begotten thee.
43
14 Ask of me, and I shall give thee
the heathen for thine inheritance, and the
uttermost parts of the earth for thy pos-
session.
15 Thou shalt break them with a rod
of iron ; thou shalt dash them in pieces
like a potter's vessel.
16 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings :
be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
1 7 Serve the Lord with fear, and re-
joice with trembling.
18 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and
ye perish from the way, when his wrath is
kindled but a little. Blessed are all they
that put their trust in him.
Psalm 4
19 HEAR me when I call, O God of
my righteousness : thou hast enlarged me
when I was in distress ; have mercy upon
me, and hear my prayer.
20 O ye sons of men, how long will
ye turn my glory into shame? how long
will ye love vanity, and seek after leas-
ing?
21 But know that the Lord hath set
apart him that is godly for himself: the
Lord will hear when I call unto him.
22 Stand in awe, and sin not : com-
mune with your own heart upon your bed,
and be still.
23 Oifer the sacrifices of righteousness,
and put your trust in the Lord.
24 There be many that say. Who
will show us any good ? Lord, lift thou
up the light of thy countenance upon
us.
25 Thou hast put gladness in my heart,
more than in the time that their corn and
their wine increased.
26 I will both lay me down in peace,
and sleep : for thou, Lord, only makest
me dwell in safety.

SELFXTION 2
Psalm 5:1—7
1 GIVE ear to my words, O Lord ;
consider my meditation.
2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry,
my King, and my God : for unto thee will
I pray.
3 My voice shalt thou hear in the
morning, O Lord ; in the morning will I
direct my prayer unto thee, and will look
up.
4 For thou art not a God that hath
pleasure in wickedness : neither shall evil
dwell with thee.
5 The foolish shall not stand in thy
sight : thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak
leasing : the Lord will abhor the bloody
and deceitful man.
7 But as for me, I will come into thy
house in the multitude of thy mercy : and
in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy
temple.
Psalm 8
8 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is
thy name in all the earth ! who hast set
thy glory above the heavens.
9 Out of the mouth of babes and suck-
lings hast thou ordained strength because
of thine enemies, that thou mightest still
the enemy and the avenger.
10 When I consider thy heavens, the
work of thy fingers, the moon and the
stars, which thou hast ordained ;
1 1 What is man, that thou art mindful
of him? and the son of man, that thou
visitest him?
12 For thou hast made him a little
lower than the angels, and hast crowned
him with glory and honor.
13 Thou madest him to have domin-
ion over the works of thy hands; thou
hast put all things under his feet :
14 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the
beasts of the field ;
1 5 The fowl of the air, and the fish of
tlie sea, and whatsoever passeth through
the paths of the seas.
16 O Lord our Lord, how excellent
is thy name in all the earth !
Psalm 11
17 IN the Lord put I my trust : how
say ye to my soul. Flee as a bird to your
mountain?
18 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow,
they make ready their arrow upon the
string, that they may privily shoot at the
upright in heart.
19 If the foundations be destroyed,
what can the righteous do?
20 The Lord is in his holy temple,
the Lord's throne is in heaven : his eyes
behold, his eyelids try, the children of
men.
2 1 The Lord trieth the righteous : but
the wicked and him that loveth violence
his soul hateth.
22 Upon the wicked he shall rain
snares, fire and brimstone, and a horrible
tempest : this shall be the portion of their
cup.
23 For the righteous Lord loveth right-
eousness ; his countenance doth behold
the upright.
SELECTION 3
Psalm 13
1 HOW long wilt thou forget me, O
Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide
thy face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my
soul, having sorrow in my heart daily?
how long shall mine enemy be exalted
over me?
3 Consider and hear me, O Lord my
God : lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the
sleep of death ;
4 Lest mine enemy say, I have pre-
vailed against him ; and those that trouble
me rejoice when I am moved.
€f^t ^^alttt
5 But I have trusted in thy mercy ; my
heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6 I will sing unto the Lord, because
he hath dealt bountifully with me.
Psalm 15
7 LORD, who shall abide in thy
tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy
hill?
8 He that walketh uprightly, and work-
eth righteousness, and speaketh the truth
in his heart.
9 He that backbiteth not with his
tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbor,
nor taketh up a reproach against his
neighbor.
10 In whose eyes a vile person is
contemned ; but he honoreth them that
fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his
own hurt, and changeth not.
1 1 He that putteth not out his money
to usury, nor taketh reward against the
innocent. He that doeth these things
shall never be moved.
Psalm 16
12 PRESERVE me, O God: for in
thee do I put my trust.
13 O my soul, thou hast said unto the
Lord, Thou art my Lord : my goodness
extendeth not to thee ;
14 But to the saints that are in the
earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all
my delight.
15 Their sorrows shall be multiplied
that hasten after another god : their drink
offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take
up their names into my lips.
16 The Lord is the portion of mine
inheritance and of my cup : thou main-
tainest my lot.
17 The lines are fallen unto me in
pleasant places ; yea, I have a goodly
heritage.
18 I will bless the Lord, who hath
given me counsel : my reins also instruct
me in the night seasons.
19 I have set the Lord always before
me : because he is at my right hand, I
shall not be moved.
20 Therefore my heart is glad, and
my glory rejoiceth : my flesh also shall
rest in hope.
2 1 For thou wilt not leave my soul in
hell ; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy
One to see corruption.
22 Thou wilt show me the path of
life : in thy presence is fulness of joy ; at
thy right hand there are pleasures for
evermore.
SELECTION 4
Psalm 17 : 1-9, 15
1 HEAR the right, O Lord, attend
unto my cry ; give ear unto my prayer,
that goeth not out of feigned lips.
2 Let my sentence come forth from
thy presence ; let thine eyes behold the
things that are equal.
3 Thou hast proved mine heart ; thou
hast visited me in the night ; thou hast
tried me, and shalt find nothing : I am pur-
posed that my mouth shall not transgress.
4 Concerning the works of men, by
the word of thy lips I have kept me from
the paths of the destroyer.
5 Hold up my goings in thy paths,
that my footsteps slip not.
6 I have called upon thee, for thou
wilt hear me, O God : incline thine ear
unto me, and hear my speech.
7 Show thy marvellous loving-kindness,
O thou that savest by thy right hand them
which put their trust in thee from those
that rise up against them.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye ;
hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9 From the wicked that oppress me,
from my deadly enemies, who compass
me about.
10 As for me, I will behold thy face
in righteousness : I shall be satisfied,
when 1 awake, with thy likeness.

Psalm i8 : 1-19
11 I WILL love thee, O Lord, my
strength.
12 The Lord is my rock, and my
fortress, and my deliverer ; my God,
my strength, in whom I will trust ; my
buckler, and the horn of my salvation,
and my high tower.
13 I will call upon the Lord, who is
worthy to be praised : so shall I be saved
from mine enemies.
14 The sorrows of death compassed
me, and the floods of ungodly men made
me afraid.
15 The sorrows of hell compassed me
about : the snares of death prevented
me.
16 In my distress I called upon the
Lord, and cried unto my God : he heard
my voice out of his temple, and my cry
came before him, even into his ears.
17 Then the earth shook and trem-
bled ; the foundations also of the hills
moved and were shaken, because he was
wroth.
18 There went up a smoke out of
his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth
devoured : coals were kindled by it.
19 He bowed the heavens also, and
came down : and darkness was under
his feet.
20 And he rode upon a cherub, and
did fly : yea, he did fly upon the wings
of the wind.
2 1 He made darkness his secret place ;
his pavilion round about him were dark
waters and thick clouds of the skies.
22 At the brightness that was before
him his thick clouds passed, hail stones
and coals of fire.
23 The Lord also thundered in the
heavens, and the Highest gave his voice ;
hail stones and coals of fire.
24 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and
scattered them ; and he shot out light-
nings, and discomfited them.
25 Then the channels of waters were
seen, and the foundations of the world
were discovered at thy rebuke, O Lord,
at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
26 He sent from above, he took me,
he drew me out of many waters.
27 He delivered me from my strong
enemy, and from them which hated me :
for they were too strong for me.
28 They prevented me in the day of
my calamity : but the Lord was my stay.
29 He brought me forth also into a
large place ; he delivered me, because he
delighted in me.
SELECTION 5
Psalm 18 : 25-35
1 WITH the merciful thou wilt show
thyself merciful ; with an upright man
thou wilt show thyself upright ;
2 With the pure thou wilt show thyself
pure ; and with the froward thou wilt
show thyself froward.
3 For thou wilt save the afflicted
people ; but wilt bring down high looks.
4 For thou wilt light my candle : the
Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
5 For by thee 1 have run through a
troop ; and by my God have I leaped
over a wall.
6 As for God, his way is perfect : the
word of the Lord is tried : he is a buckler
to all those that trust in him.
7 For who is God save the Lord? or
who is a rock save our God ?
8 It is God that girdeth me with
strength, and maketh my way perfect.
9 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet,
and setteth me upon my high places.
10 He teacheth my hands to war, so
that a bow of steel is broken by mine '
arms.
1 1 Thou hast also given me the shield
of thy salvation : and thy right hand hath
holden me up, and thy gentleness hath
made me great.

Psalm 19
12 THE heavens declare the glory of
God ; and the firmament showeth his
handywork.
13 Day unto day uttereth speech, and
night unto night showeth knowledge.
14 There is no speech nor language,
where their voice is not heard
15 Their line is gone out through all
the earth, and their words to the end of
the world. In them hath he set a taber-
nacle for the sun,
16 Which is as a bridegroom coming
out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a
strong man to run a race.
17 His going forth is from the end of
the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends
of it : and there is nothing hid from the
heat thereof.
18 The law of the Lord is perfect,
converting the soul : the testimony of
the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
19 The statutes of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart : the commandment
of the Lord is pure, enlightening the
eyes.
20 The fear of the Lord is clean, en-
during for ever : the judgments of the
Lord are true and righteous altogether.
21 More to be desired are they than
gold, yea, than much fine gold : sweeter
also than honey and the honeycomb.
22 Moreover by them is thy servant
warned : and in keeping of them there is
great reward.
23 Who can understand his errors?
cleanse thou me from secret faults.
24 Keep back thy servant also from
presumptuous sins ; let them not have
dominion over me : then shall I be up-
right, and I shall be innocent from the
great transgression.
25 Let the words of my mouth, and
the meditation of my heart, be acceptable
in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and
my redeemer.

4 Grant thee according to thine own

5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and

6 Now know I that the Lord saveth

holy heaven with the saving strength of

Psalm 23
10 THE Lord is my shepherd ; I

1 1 He maketh me to lie down in
green pastures : he leadeth me beside the
still waters.
12 He restoreth my soul : he leadeth
me in the paths of righteousness for his
name's sake.
13 Yea, though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death, I will fear
no evil : for thou art with me ; thy rod
and thy staff they comfort me.
14 Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies : thou
anointest my head with oil; my cup

pain ; and forgive all my sins.

hatred.

let me not be ashamed ; for I put my
trust in thee.

any that did understand, that did seek

they are altogether become filthy ; there
is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4 Have the workers of iniquity no
knowledge? who eat up my people as
they eat bread : they have not called

5 There were they in great fear, where
no fear was : for God hath scattered the
bones of him that encampeth against

4 They wandered in the wilderness in
a solitary way ; they found no city to
dwell in.
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted
in them.
6 Then they cried unto the Lord in
their trouble, and he delivered them out
of their distresses.

way, that they might go to a city of
habitation.

or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

a song, and will magnify him with thanks-
giving.
24 This also sliall please the Lord
better than an ox or bullock that hath
horns and hoofs.
25 The humble shall see this, and be
glad : and your heart shall live that seek
God.
26 For the Lord heareth the i)oor,
and despiseth not his prisoners.
27 Let the heaven and earth praise
him, the seas, and every thing that moveth
therein.
28 For God will save Zion, and will
build the cities of Judah : that they may
dwell there, and have it in possession.
29 The seed also of his servants shall
inherit it: and they that love his name
shall dwell therein.
GLORY be to the Father, and to the
Son : and to the Holy Ghost ;
As it was in the beginning, is now,
and ever shall be : world without end.
Amen.
